The contents are shocking, and so is the price. For about $2.50, you get something like 330-440 calories (depending on the items), including a Capri Sun "fruit" beverage and a candy bar, with a dab of cheese and some kind of lunch meat and crackers. Yikes! Diabetes in a box, right?
American grocery stores are miracles of abundance and choice. But the choices are the key to a lifetime of health, or not.

My kids know to steer clear of this junk. At least when Im around.  I point out that buying a package of deli meat and deli cheese is much cheaper,, and no crackers. Most deli's have a prepackaged section now. The prices are steep, but not as ridiculous as the Lunchable type. The deli's know they have a captive consummer so charge $10/lb for roast beef. Sheeesh.
