Your site may be geared toward children, but it's been GREAT for 35-year-old me! My husband and I are childfree adults, but we know plenty of folks with kids who would love this site. My sister is one of them...she is considering veggie for her family and I know that she would love to pack these lunches for her little girl. So glad that I found you.

Ripening is a historic way to make foods both more digestible and safer. I don't mean to pick and I know you're mostly vegan but I try not to talk about your vegan foods being nasty or disgusting and I'd appreciate the same consideration. I'm vegetarian and not considering becoming vegan because of the attitude I get from many vegans.
