High in fat, sodium and contain artificial flavorings and colorings. No actual nutritional value. I believed this to be universally understood. Is this actually news to you?

Too much fat
Too much sodium
Nitrates and other preservatives

Just to start.

If your kid insist maybe once a week but I have seen parents send them every day and I cringe. They are so unhealthy! Do a quick google search to see what the experts say.



And it isn't balanced. Are you including fresh fruits and veggies as well?

I did this once. My kid complained about being teased mercilessly over it. So, never again.

Same meat from packaged packs of Kraft cheese and turkey, ham processed but only in circles.

Never! You can make your own.

PS - they were disgusting when I was a kid in the 80s.

They are very bad. So - never. I never gave them to my kids. Read the box, OP.

I'd probably do precut cheese, lunch meat and crackers to cut down on cost/waste. You can use a small cookie cutter for the lunch meat. Kraft makes cracker cuts I believe.

Really unhealthy. Our private banned them.

You can make your own with healthier meats and cheeses.
