Packing School Lunches (KidsHealth.org)

Buying lunch at school may be the first time your child gets to call the shots about which foods he or she will eat. The good news is that school lunches have improved over the years, both in taste and nutrition. A recent study shows these meals meet the standards for protein, vitamins, calcium, and iron, but still exceed recommendations for fat. Some schools also have made an effort to serve better dishes, such as grilled chicken sandwiches and salads.
