And we're off! It's the first week of school and I am READY! As you can see, I'm already catering to their individual tastes the way I try to avoid, but hey - it's all healthy so it's all good, right?
I have recently purchases two of the Rovers from www.PlanetBox.com and I couldn't say enough good things about it. I'm still rocking the sliced apples - these have pretty much been a staple in their lunches since Day 1. The top photo is Roo's lunch (my 8-year old) and she likes the Gluck's Veggie chips. She also prefers salad to tomatoes, so that's what she has with her Hidden Valley Ranch (which I'm not crazy about, but it's a very small part of her diet). My 11 year old, Baloo, opted for the tomatoes rather than the salad and she likes Simply Natural Organic Honey Mustard dressing. She also likes pretzels rather than veggie chips. She "doesn't like green food" to quote one of her favorite movies. They also have the Boar's Head Salami and Mozzarella roll sliced up and split between them. They also both got some green grapes ... no they're not organic. Sue me.
I'm all about balance. I have always tried to strive for nutritional perfection, but I'm not WonderWoman, contrary to popular lore. I actually get in hurry sometimes and default to what I can afford over what I know is a better choice. I understand all the reasoning behind "investing in your health", but I'm also a human who lies in a world that simply commands a certain degree of tolerance. I figure if I run through small amounts of poison, it'll make us tolerant in the event of a zombie apocalypse where we are living off the pudding cups and Twinkies that are there for the taking. We will be able to survive, but in case that never happens and we live long enough to suffer from side effects, I'm hoping I can keep the toxins on the down low.
Makes sense, right? So when you see inconsistencies in my posts that start out healthy and end with a small bumble bee made of Swiss chocolate, you'll understand why. It's for their own good ...
