Cool back-to-school lunch ideas

I had a bit of a panic attack when I went to the department store last week and saw the back-to-school signs advertising great deals on pens and binders. Yes, it's almost that time if year again. While I'm sure it's a relief for parents of school-age kids, back-to-school time is downright depressing for me, an indicator that sweaters and jeans and shivering my way through the winter is not far off. I despise winter.

But time marches on and as we enter August, parents will be scrambling for school supplies, new clothes and new healthy lunch ideas to pack their children. It can be difficult finding stuff that's both good and good for them, but with a little planning, you should be able to give them something that they will actually eat.
