Social media world had gone Full Bento/Cute Food Crazy at the time, so I had visions of cozy little compartments full of tiny sandwiches, precious little fruit flowers and animal faces made of vegetables.Lunch packing was officially outsourced to the lunch eater. Kids are lousy at sandwich making. And the sandwich was portioning. Nine lunches out of 10, they just want a sun butter and jelly sandwich.

Key Takeaways:

• Once upon a time, back when I knew nothing beyond half-day preschool, I was excited at the prospect of packing my first lunch box.
• It quickly became clear that the lunch box was simply not the place to get daring or adventurous.
• No one ever has to suffer the Wrong Granola Bar or That One Unacceptable Yogurt Flavor. Almost immediately, we had less wasted food coming home.
