School lunches can be nutritious, simple and tasty, however, this knowledge, and the education it takes to understand the 'why' of this, will arise through different avenues - and to varied extents - for everyone. We aim to be one pillar of support for all.

There’s a shift happening in many homes from packing - or accepting - lunches with a plain sandwich filled with ‘plastic’ cheese and a bag of crisps, to kids devouring foods that are more picnic-like, nutrient dense and colourful.

Sometimes this food is provided by parents and family members, and in some cases it's provided by education facilities or 'healthy eating' programs facilitated within schools or childcare organisations.

Many families are aiming to make sure their children are eating foods that will support their health and wellbeing.

Eating a colourful, varied diet free from (or as free as possible from) inflammatory vegetable oils, additives and sugars, and - for some - gluten - will allow for clearer minds, healthier guts, the ability to more easily regulate behaviour, and learn, love, grow and play filled with wholefood and its sustained health giving properties.

Where once we might have followed the supermarket 'Back to School' specials and advertising campaigns to fill our kids' tummies, it's now time to think outside the lunchbox.

Knowledge is key and this will often - if not always - involve re-learning falsehoods we have been taught - or that have been ingrained in us through societal practices and advertising - for a long time.

With caregivers now becoming more informed, expanding food knowledge, culinary skill and preference for trying new things, kids are reaping the yummy rewards.
