What is National Pack Your Lunch Day?
Everyone around the country is encouraged to bring their lunch to work, school, or wherever they're spending the day on March 10th. It's a great opportunity to reimagine lunchtime with new and healthier menu options.
Packing your lunch has health benefits you may not expect.. Savings are one of the immediate benefits. Many home-prepared lunches cost less than ordering off the take-out menu or eating out. Another advantage of making your own lunch is being able to control portion sizes and ingredients. They will be healthier, too, by adding fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to your lunches.
