I agree, your kid is going to end up bingeing on sugar the moment he is able to decide for himself. When you deprive a child of any sweets and have a no sugar attitude you just make them wanna find it elsewhere. You are setting yourself up for disaster. Im not saying pack a lunch full of chocolate chip cookies and doritos, but geez.

I was very disappointed to find that many of these "healthy" Lunch Box Snacks are full of sugar and sodium! I was excited when I read the title of the article, so I opened it. Wishing now that I hadn't! I think I'll jsut stick with putting a plain old piece of fruit or unsweetened applesauce in my son's lunch box.
