Parents could be packing more than 12 teaspoons of sugar into their children’s lunch-boxes by giving them snacks designed for kids. Watch the video here.

    The amount of sugar, salt and fat in processed foods that are otherwise labeled or promoted as “healthy” is indeed scary! It can be hard for parents and caretakers to navigate the grocery store items and choose healthy alternatives. My website http://www.lunchtaker.com allows you to search for items based on different nutritional goals. To search foods based on their amount of sodium, fat, sugar and more try our direct link. http://www.lunchtaker.com/food_finder_attrib.php
    We developed this site when our daughter started school – it helps keep us focused on nutritional lunches for our family and we hope it will inspire you as well. :) Amy
