There are dinner pails and lunch
buckets, lunch boxes and box
lunches, designer bags, and plain
brown paper bags, recycled mar
garine tubs and plastic totes with
nests of smaller boxes shaped to
hold a sandwich or a piece of
cake.
No matter what the container, a
mid-day meal brought from home
has sustained generations of work
ers and school children. Today the
practice of “brown bagging” has
risen to new heights and taken on
new dignity. Brown bags have, in
a manner of speaking, come out of
the briefcase and are appearing
unashamedly on the desks of pro
fessionals and on board room
tables during business lunches.
The lunch-box meal is often
depicted by cartoonists as a limp
meat or cheese sandwich and a
ihermos of soup or coffee taken
ruefully from a black box with a
high humped lid. What goes into

the box or bag is limited only by
the imagination of the person who
prepares it and the likes and dis
likes of the one who eats it. Pack
ing a lunch at home can have a
distinct advantage no surprises,
no excess sodium or unwanted
calories if the packer packs
with good nutrition in mind.
Whether it comes out of a
brown bag or a tin box, the noon
meal should be nutritious. A good
lunch should include selections
from the basic four food groups:
* A protein food such as meat,
fish, cheese, eggs, nuts, dried
beans, or the perennial favorite,
peanut butter. Foods in this group
supply fat, iron and other miner
als, and some B vitamins, as well
as protein.
* A grain product bread or
crackers (preferably whole wheat)
or cereals. Grain products provide
B vitamins and iron.
* A fruit or vegetable, preferab-

The simplest way to put it all
together is to make a sandwich
with a meat, cheese or peanut but
ter filling and add an apple and
some carrot sticks. This can be
topped off with cookies for dessert
and a beverage.
For some children, this may
suffice for awhile. Some will
insist on the same thing day after
day. But eventually even the most
lovingly made sandwiches can
become a bore and may end up in
the trash can.
It isn’t hard to find ideas to
liven up the lunch box. Many
popular women’s magazines carry
articles with suggestions for nutri
tious lunches. Cookbooks have
sandwich recipes that are not just
for tea parties. Here are some
ideas for nutritious lunches
gleaned from some of these
sources:
For sandwiches, try hard
cooked eggs, chopped and mixed
with mayonnaise or salad dress
ing. Spice them up with chopped
onion, celery, green pepper,
crumbled bacon or bean sprouts.

Instead of using sliced cheese,
grate it and mix it with salad
dressing, chopped nuts, onion or
crushed pineapple.
Left-over chicken, without the
high-fat skin, can be sliced or
chopped and mixed with mayon
naise or salad dressing and shred
ded raw vegetables.
Dress up plain old peanut butter
with raisins, chopped nuts, bana
nas, apples, or pineapple, for a
treat that is extra nutritious.
Protein does not have to come
between two slices of bread.
Chunks of cheese or ham, cottage
cheese, a chicken leg or wing,
chili or soup (in a wide-mouthed
vacuum bottle) and peanut butter
filled celery stalks all will fill the
bill. Instead of bread, try whole
wheat crackers, homemade rolls
or muffins, or pita bread filled
with a favorite sandwich stuffing.
Raw vegetables carrot or
celery sticks, cauliflower or broc
coli florets, cucumber slices,
green pepper slices are crisp
and fun to eat, especially with a

homemade dip.
For some people lunch would
not be complete without dessert.
While prepackaged puddings,
fruit pies or cupcakes are conve
nient, they are notorious for their
excessive calories. Fruits or
yogurt can double for dessert.
Packing lunch requires some
care, since it may be standing at
room temperature for several
hours before being eaten. To make
sure that it does not turn into a
gastronomic disaster, use fresh or
thoroughly cooked foods and
avoid those that are likely to spoil
easily, such as rare roast beef and
homemade mayonnaise. Do not
use leftovers that have been in the
refrigerator for several days.
The same kitchen cleanliness
rules for preparing at-home meals
apply to brown-bag lunch making.
Be sure that utensils, hands and
work areas are clean. Wash food
containers, including the lunch
box itself, after each use. Do not
reuse paper bags that have already
carried food.
