Someone posts this comment almost every single time I pack a peeled or cut up orange.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, if my son were the kind of kid who would peel a piece of fruit and eat it himself, I would happily pack him a whole citrus fruit. But he would be more likely to play catch with it, bounce it on the floor, or shoot it at the garbage can. <BR/><BR/>Really, he doesn't like to peel citrus fruit. Whether it's the feeling of the peel under his nails or just the mess of it, I don't know. <BR/><BR/>If I pack him fruit that's peeled, it might not have as much vitamin C or offer any fine motor skill opportunities, but at least I know he will eat it.Jennifershmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663322884550580226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1166633675654759022006-12-20T08:54:00.000-08:002006-12-20T08:54:00.000-08:00>>How did it taste, by the way?He covered it with ...>>How did it taste, by the way?<BR/><BR/>He covered it with soy sauce first and ate the whole thing.

I dined with the entire first grade at my child's school today and was shocked at what the children had for lunch (LOTS of lunchables). My child is not vegan (I am trying to be) but she does have food allergies and she frequently eats lunches from and inspired by Vegan Lunch Box. She typically has at least 2 servings of fruit (not big on veggies, so I pack things I know she will eat). She never brings home uneaten food, she has almost zero waste (ie- plastic)because of the bento box, and she is drinking water instead of sugary juice boxes. Since she is eating healthier, I feel better including the occasional cookie or small dark chocolate- everyone is happy. Thank you and Bless you, Great MamaShmoo!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105901992387921678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1165659711491194232006-12-09T02:21:00.000-08:002006-12-09T02:21:00.000-08:00So cute!!And THANK YOU for peeling the orange.
