[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leftovers from our regular dinners. Same thing the adults eat.[/quote]

^^ this. Asian here. Kids eat the same as adults, once they have teeth.  Packed lunches are leftovers or extras of food made that day.  i.e. cook would make lunch in the morning, and kids would eat that at school that day.

We would never dream of packing a [b]peanut butter sandwich[/b], potato chips, or even juice.  [b]That's junk[/b].[/quote]

Really? A good source of fats and protein combined with whole grains you're going to call junk compared to say, the carbohydrate bomb someone else listed earlier of dumplings and white rice?  :roll: [/quote]

If you go to most of Asia, they all eat white rice.  And they are generally less over weight than our pbj eating US kids.  BTW, my kids eat pbj and white rice.  [/quote]

[b]I love how the jam magically disappears from the nutritional breakdown of a PBJ [/b]to prove a point.

Nope. I'm not low fat; I'm actually high fat, but you'll never convince me PBJ is good for you. My kids get fat from avocado, olive oil, butter, full fat yogurt, and meat. I'm very well traveled and it seems the U.S. Is the only place that thinks PBJ is an appropriate kids meal.

PBJ = sugar + fat + more sugar with [b]very little by way of nutrients[/b]..[/quote]

Actually, peanut butter is a really good source of nutrients (Good fat, fiber, protein, and minimal to no sugar). Are you one of those people who buys everything 'low-fat' to be healthy??? Kids need fats. White rice (or bread) is what makes American kids fat. Not fat from peanuts.

In our house, "peanut butter sandwich" = peanut butter on whole grain bread. There's no "jam" or jelly in the equation; that would be a "peanut butter and jelly sandwich". Our PB also has nothing in it but nuts...so...no sugar.
