How Do You Pack Vegetarian School Lunches?
• Take a look at the organic section of your grocery store. That’s usually where they put all the fake meat (products like imitation coldcuts made from soy). Try to look for the best deals possible and don’t over do it. Organic foods can be much more expensive. • Learn to cook food. There’s nothing lamer than not knowing what you’re having for lunch since your mom packed it. It’s also really cool if you can tell everyone you made the food yourself. Buy a vegetarian cookbook, watch cooking shows and search the web for recipes. • Cook food over the weekend in advance, particularly things like tofu lasagna or vegetarian chili which can be made in large batches and frozen. • Eat healthily and know your stuff. People will envy you and want to be like you if you eat really healthy food and know a lot about nutrition. • Look at a vegetarian food pyramid to get ideas on what to eat. Just not eating meat is not a good way to stay healthy. Eat cold food. It’s probably not a good idea to bring so
