I pulled this excerpt from a Whole Foods Market article "Simple Things You Can Do to Get Your Kids to Eat Better", as I liked the foolproof method of pulling from different categories that really make a meal attractive via all our senses. How cool is this! So the next time you are groggily standing in front of the refrigerator at the crack of dawn wondering what to pack for lunch, chant "CPCB!" : Color, Protein, Crunch, Bonus.
