School Lunches That Pack a Wallop

Newswise — How do you make sure your child is eating a healthy lunch at school? Give him some say in what to eat, says Marjorie Sawicki, a registered dietitian at Saint Louis University's Obesity Prevention Center. "Encourage your child to buy lunch at school more often than bringing it from home, and choose something from each of the food groups," Sawicki says. "And limit the number of a week she can buy pizza to twice a week. She gets to choose when."
