Okay, so maybe you only buy frozen waffles -- and those are by the breakfast section -- and frozen veggies -- again, another section.

Kids seem to be set in their ways about what they like and don't like. And now add parent's desire to pack a variety of foods inside a lunch box, and the challenge just got a bit more complicated.

Because parents want to send their kids to school with a nutritious lunch that will actually get eaten, as opposed to one that comes home, uneaten and mushy, by the end of the day.
