One meal can be a big deal. Kids need lunch to fuel their brains and bodies so they can learn and be social—and parents want to feel confident their kids are getting all those essential nutrients. So when it comes to school lunch: to buy, or not to buy? Who decides what ends up on your kid's tray? And if you decide to pack, what are the best foods to deliver all the nutrition your kid needs to get them through the day?
On this episode of Mayo Clinic Kids, we talk with dietitian Lori Russell about chocolate milk, pizza as a vegetable, Instagram-worthy bento boxes, and all the other concerns swirling around lunchtime.
