I’m guessing that most people don’t think too much about the actual lunch box that their kids use, other than the fact that their kids like the character on the front. As long as it holds their food and it makes it from point A to point B, you’re good, right? Well, there is growing concern about the chemicals that are in our food and that come in contact with our food from things like plastics or additives. When you start to consider the dangerous elements that can leach into your kid’s food, or yours for that matter, the humble lunch box and the food containers you use take on a whole new meaning. Read below for how to pack the ultimate back to school non toxic lunch box.

Non Toxic Food and a Non Toxic Lunch Box
We all know the importance of trying to choose organic fruits, vegetables and meats whenever possible, (See my post 5 Ways to Eat Healthy on the Cheap to learn how to do it on the cheap), but we also need to be concerned with the toxic chemicals that can leach into our food from the containers we use to hold them, mainly from plastics and the chemicals BPA and BPS. (See my post Going BPA Free – Three Easy Ways to Avoid BPA and BPS to learn more). Thankfully, as more people are concerned about these issues, there are more and more new products on the market that are safe, non-toxic, inexpensive, and probably most importantly, reusable.
