Would love any advice you have on helping kids eat more real food at school. We're pretty healthy (allergies and awareness), and I make most of our meals at home. I pack reusable containers for sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, veggies, water, etc. But they love their bars, pretzels, crackers, and chips. I'm struggling to find ways to send them with healthier alternatives that are quick and easy to eat at school as well as healthy without inciting a riot 😬
Japanese-style bento box food is tasty and easy to eat, but probably takes more effort ro prepare than packing a lunchbag style lunch. Just One Cookbook describes how she does her kids‘ lunches. The recipes I‘ve tried I‘ve found easy and tasty.
Another book that reminds me of Michael Pollans‘ in its readability and interesting stuff: Lenore Newman, Lost Feast: Culinary Extinction and the Future of Food.
I recommend not using the term "food" to describe it, even after the prefix "ultra-processed." I prefer the term doof, which more and more people are using: https://joshuaspodek.com/avoid-eating-doof
