[quote=Anonymous]It's better to pack lunch just because school lunch times are so short - by the time they get through the lunch line, lunch is almost over.

As for whether they're healthy meals, I don't care that much quite honestly.  Or rather, I do care but mainly for other kids who may not get good nutrition at home.  DS is a good eater (will try anything).  We don't restrict access to junk food - with the result that there are days he'll eat all the junk in his lunch and leave the healthy stuff, and many other days when it's the reverse:  He'll eat the healthy stuff and leave the sweets/chips.  He's healthy, active, and thin.

For lunch, he usually takes pasta, quesadillas, pizza or peanut butter.  We also pack yogurt, which he loves.  Some fruit.  And then cookies and chips.  He drinks juice.  He has never liked milk -- no allergies (we've checked) -- but he does love dairy (cheese, yogurt).

I don't find making lunches to be a pain at all.  Occasionally, DS buys lunch when they serve pizza but that's it[/quote]
