[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]In OP’s mind, Lunchables are for a certain class of people.[/b] OP is perturbed because the Lunchable parents aren’t acting how she expects them to act based on their socioeconomic status. Bless her heart, she probably aspires to their status and here they are spoiling it with Lunchables. [/quote]

What's funny about this is the fact that Lunchables are expensive. So are Uncrustables. (I'm not against either one; my kid loves Uncrustables, so do I)

Humans have hit an all time high laziness.  BP&J is the world’s easiest sandwich to make.  But no.  Let’s buy  overpriced frozen ones in a box-  I’m just too busy on DCUM for sandwich making [/quote]

I have no doubt an Uncrustable is 100x more tasty than the PB&J I make with no-sugar whole grain bread, no-sugar almond butter and low-sugar jelly. Luckily the only version my kids know is my version so they are used to it.

We send to private school so we control when they can buy lunch, and leftovers are brought back in the lunchbox, not thrown out.[/quote]

Curious which brands/products of bread, pb, and jelly you use at home. Would be interested in some healthier options.[/quote]

Not the PP, but I use homemade oat bread (recipe on King Arthur), Trader Joe’s natural organic peanut butter, and bonne manan fruit spread (1/3 less sugar).

I think bread is fine to buy too , but get from a local bakery that uses quality ingredients, not grocery store.  [/quote]

I love the “quality ingredients” people. Flour is flour. But yup, yours is WAY BeTTER[/quote]

No, actually it is not.  Grocery store bread uses flour that has been enriched, bleached, and bromated plus a whole laundry list of ingredients such as preservatives, dough and texture enhancers, gums, corn syrup, cheap oil.

Bread should have: flour (unbleached and not bromated), water, yeast, salt.  Sometimes milk, honey, or other grains depending on type. That is it. [/quote]

The only evidence I can find of bleached flour being “bad” are from junk health websites. Can you point me to the actual research that shows the harms of bleached flour?[/quote]
