Lunchables have been an easy go-to option for kid lunches for generations, but we're learning that it may not be a good idea for your children to consume them every day. With harsh chemicals found within them Kelly Scott, a registered and licensed dietician, offers healthier alternatives.

"Add some fruits and add some vegetables or some lean sources of protein," Scott said. "So maybe some healthy forms of protein like less processed cheese products like cheddar or mozzarella just cut up or even like whole grain products or crackers or tortilla chips versus the crackers that are placed in those packages, they're less processed," she said.

Scott said it's possible you or your children can run into serious health issues from ingesting too much sodium or overly processed foods.

"Anytime we're adding something in like that into our diet that isn't something that is a whole food or a healthy product, it's increasing our risk for inflammation, it's Actually changing our cells at a cellular level," Scott said. "We wanna make sure that we are providing the nutrient dense foods that are actually acceptable for our bodies and that produce our best outcomes," she said.

Robert F. Kennedy Junior is making a number of promises to 'make America healthy again' under President Trump. One of those promises includes getting processed food out of school lunches immediately. Scott said she believes Kennedy is headed in the right direction.

"Quick items and things that are marketed for children are likely more in the schools right now," Scott said. "So, palatable items, more sugar, more sodium, more processed items that kids typically go for and that are marketed to them and look appealing is what's currently in the schools right now, not across the board but there are those items that the kids are choosing," she said.

Scott also encourages people to read the labels of the food they're buying because she says a long list of ingredients is a red flag.
