Customer Reviews

book report material
This is the user manual that you get when you buy a Laptop Lunch system. (which i own, and which works very well for packing a typical American's lunch.)

It is about two thirds lessons on resources, recycling, and how much Americans throw away, and one third information about nutrition and packing lunch. If you are already aware of the need to reduce our dependence on plastic wraps, school lunches, high sodium tasteless preserved food,etc. then you wont find anything new here.

there are only a few recipes in this book, and if you are looking for lunch recipes you would be better served by buying a true recipe book. One thing you MAY wish to get this book for would be a school report. This book has a LOT of information that a child (or PTA member) could use in discussing school nutrition, reducing waste and related topics.

User's Guide to go with the Lunch Box
I received this user's guide WITH the laptop lunch box "kit" I purchased on their website. It is a nice little guide that helped soften the blow of explaining to my husband why I spent $45 for a lunch box. Despite the steep price of the lunch box kit I do LOVE the laptop lunch box and use it daily for my child's school lunches. The user's guide book is a nice quality , informative little manual with some menus, kid-friendly recipes, and suggestions for using the laptop lunch box. If you don't already own the bento-style laptop lunch box I don't think I would recommend spending the money on this user's guide. You can get more for your money by purchasing a regular book/cookbook on healthy lunches. I DO recommend purchasing the laptop lunch box which is very high quality and lots of fun!
