Lunchbox lessons: how to pack a school lunch that actually gets eaten and reduces waste
Briefly

Packing lunches for school is often a challenge for parents, leading to food waste issues. While children's lunch contents have improved nutritionally over time, studies show millions of items, especially sandwiches, end up discarded yearly. Experts suggest understanding a child's eating schedule and preferences can help reduce waste. Involving children in the decision and preparation process is key to ensuring the lunch is eaten rather than thrown away, and opting for familiar, nutritious foods over processed alternatives can enhance their lunchtime experience.
Most parents have found themselves at a loss over what to pack for school lunches, leading to an increase in food waste each year.
Getting kids involved in choosing and preparing their lunch can significantly reduce food waste while also making lunchtime more enjoyable for them.
