On brown bag lunches "My dad has been packing my lunch since I was in kindergarten, and I've had everything from PB&J to sushi and risotto. While in high school, I've never had time to eat a school lunch with a full day of classes, so I've really come to appreciate the brown bag lunch."

On brown bag lunches "I have a lot of experience eating brown bag lunches because last year my Mom told me that I had to bring lunch to school instead of buying it because it was healthier to bring food from home."

On brown bag lunches "I understand that parents don't want to pay a fortune for a bag lunch and that nutrition is extremely important, but I am very sick of eating carrots, an apple and a PB&J sandwich at school everyday."
