This Health and Lifestyle report is from VOA Learning English. It’s about lunchboxes or containers for school-going children, as this is a daily task for parents to pack a healthy lunch in the right food containers. Years ago, food was usually packed in a plastic bag that kids would throw away. But now the food is packed in food containers. There are many kinds of food containers, Bento lunch boxes keep food separate…. read more!
Some containers are insulted, meaning they keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Many parents choose reusable containers. there are also reusable utensils, such as forks, spoons, and drinking straws. Providing healthy food in the lunchboxes keeps children growing and developing well. Healthy lunch makes children active and alert.
Humera, perhaps not insulted but insulated? Keep up the good work!
Lesson 2.41.1 Year 2
Sorry, I got a mistake, I will be careful next time.
Greetings
Years ago, a packed lunch included a sandwich, a piece of fruit, some carrots, and maybe some potato chips. This food was usually packed in plastic bags that kids would throw away. Many parents today use reusable containers instead of single-plastic ones that are thrown away
These create less waste. Although, some parents choose reusable wrappers made from beeswax. The warmth of your hand softens the beeswax so it can wrap around food when you get at home you can wash it and use it again. Some storage bags made from silicone can be washed in a dishwashing machine, heated in a microwave oven, and stored in the freezer. Nowadays most of these containers are made without a chemical called BPA that is used in plastics. This chemical could get into the food and into the body. This can create health concerns to some people. Besides containing BPA, they only have one compartment so all the food moves around and could damage it. Today, there are lunch boxes with smaller, movable compartments. These choices can make lunch more healthier and fun for kids.
Thank you so much.
