A user mentioned all the unhealthy things the lunch box contained, "I mean cheese pairs well with fruit but theres zero protein. Its all fat and sugar."

I know kids are picky and sometimes you have to choose your battles, I completely get that." The user added, "But this isn’t a phase, she’s been feeding the poor kid like that from day 1. She pacifies them with a bunch of junk. Look at her parents, they’re like elephants because they just eat a bunch of c**p."
