The Magic Lunch Box

Most children spend at least 7 hours at school each school day. Their time at school is physically and mentally challenging. Good nutrition helps provide them with the energy and vitality required to function effectively in the classroom and on the sporting field

Children that have a more substantial lunch at school are also less likely to binge or graze on high energy/fat snack foods when they get home.

Most parents appreciate the importance of good nutrition and aim to provide healthy food choices for their children. Creating “the magic lunchbox” (whereby the healthy contents magically vanish - by being consumed) is important for children’s overall nutrition. Uneaten and discarded lunches are a waste of ‘food’, ‘effort’ and ‘money’. All of which are rare and precious commodities.

This article aims to outline some suggestions on how you can create a “Magic Lunchbox” for your child.
