Label Lessons: Unjunk Your Kid's Lunchbox is live!

Back-to-school time is just around the corner, and grocery stores are already preparing to make our lives easier with specials on pre-packaged snacks, cold cuts, tetra-packs and 'ready-in-5' meals. Schedules are about to change, and time may be tighter, but don't compromise health for the sake of convenience.

The newest edition of Label Lessons reveals the hidden, scary ingredients in back-to-school convenience foods and provides healthier alternatives that taste just as great (if not better) and are just as convenient!

Mott's Flavoured Applesauce - Mango Peach, for example, contains high-fructose corn syrup (called glucose/fructose in Canada) and yellow 6, an artificial dye that is known to cause poor behaviour in some children!

Unjunk Your Kid's Lunchbox reviews a range of favourite foods for school-aged kids, including sandwich breads (and gluten-free bread), fruit juices, cereal, cookies, and even provides a recipe for the newest lunchtime trend - bento box lunches.
