I think this article is really cute. It's about making a bento-style lunch. Bento is a box, that's usually used for Japanese cooking; it has compartments within the box to hold different foods. This article suggests Bento boxes as a fun way to get your kids to eat any kind of lunch. Right now, it's lunchtime and after looking at these photos my tummy is grumbling.

Do you think your kids would be more inclined to eat different things if their lunch was packed in a new fun way? Is it realistic or worth it to put any extra time into those brown paper bag lunches?
