For those who will be bringing a lunch from home, there are ways to make it healthy for the body and the planet. 1. Choose foods the child will eat. Nothing is more wasteful than a lunch that ends up in the trash. Instead of experimenting with foods that one would hope a child will eat, select healthy items that have a past track record for success. 2. Skip the brown bags. Certain children may relish the idea of bring- ing in a character-themed lunch box. Older children may scoff at the idea. But the fact is that disposable paper lunch bags are wasteful and reusable lunch carriers are much more eco- friendly. Today there are lunch bags that are subdued in colour and style and are often insulated to keep food at the right temperature. 3. Select organic foods. Supermarkets now stock the shelves with plenty of organic options that are free from pesti- cides and harmful growing practices. These foods are healthier and more sus- tainable. 4. Buy favourite foods in bulk. If the child loves cereal treats or whole- grain granola bars, buy the big box and store it in the pantry. 5. Use reusable containers. Rather than packing a sandwich in a plastic baggie or a piece of plastic wrap, select a series of sandwich holders, contain- ers and the like that can transport the lunch contents to and from school.
