      My biggest lunchtime challenge is the OTHER kids at lunch who pick on my son for having a meal that’s too “healthy.” He has multiple food allergies and chemical sensitivities (to artificial colors, flavors and preservatives) but doesn’t feel like he “fits in” unless his lunch is made up of packaged, super-glow “treats.” It’s hard to know where to draw the line!
