Parents can create a healthy lunch by selecting foods from all the major food groups of the Food Guide Pyramid.
Kids enjoy foods that are easy and fun to eat.
And if kids help with the preparation of their lunch, they will be much more excited to eat it. Make an orange effortless to eat by removing the rind, or try a tangerine which is easier to peel. Moreover, don't be frightened to add a bag of potato chips, a cookie, or brownie. Active, growing kids may need the extra energy that they supply. Even though parents may prepare the most nutritious and kid-friendly lunch, nothing matters unless the lunch abides by simple food safety rules.
