Starting/Back To School the Healthy Way
Hi there,
Are you gearing up to send the kids (back) to school?
Our older daughter is starting school on the first of February.
Are you like us - your kids eat healthy unprocessed diets at home but when they go out and need to take lunch and/or a snack, it becomes challenging to ensure:
(a) the food they take with them is healthy and not too messy to eat without cutlery and crockery, and
(b) the way you store the food for them will not leach nasty toxins into their food and/or beverages.
Check out the following links for a tip of the iceberg look at just one toxin, biphenol A:

What can we do to keep our loved ones and ourselves safe from contaminants in food and beverages?
1)*Give them organic &/or home grown unprocessed food (don't use tinned, bottled or prepackaged foods),
2)Store it in a way that doesn't leach toxins - eg. use real cellophane bags/wrappers
not plastic; if necessary use stainless steel containers, not plastic.
3)Give them filtered water,
4)Store the water in a stainless steel BPA free drink bottle.
*Unfortunately, processed organic foods are still packaged using "conventional" methods and materials, losing a lot of their "goodness".
Cellophane, glass and stainless steel are the best options these days, but you can't send your child to school with food in glass containers. The cellophane can't be the fake stuff made from plastic. The latter is "softer" and doesn't make quite as much noise when handled or crinkle up so much. The stainless steel options are great and increasing a lot at present. Some have lids/caps made with plastic(s) containing BPA and some are not. The latter are more costly but necessary for beverages. For foods you may be able to get by with the food containers with plastic lids if you have an educated and understanding child - simply place a piece of cellophane over the container's opening, between the food and the lid.
If you are interested in BPA free stainless steel food and beverage containers, email us:

Have a great start to the school year,
Love and Peace
Miriam.
