Kids and foods/organic/sugar/tins, etc
Annette Yunker
There's a book written by a homeschooling mom called "Raw Kids". Her sons eat a mostly raw food diet - they eliminate the junk partly to eliminate the behavioral effects of sugars, preservatives, and artificial coloring. It's a great guide for seeing what can be done. We have eliminated all added sugars with the exception of maple sugar which is the only sugar that does not effect our hypoglycemia. My dd's think a small maple candy is a huge treat!
One of the benefits of homeschooling is limiting exposure to all the junk that other kids either bring to school or buy at school.
Regarding the tins in the lunchboxes, Lynda: how do you keep them clean? Does the smell that they get bother you at all? As for washing, how do you dry them thoroughly, even in the crevices so that they don't rust?

We've never had a problem with smells in them that I can think of. When
they are washed I sit them in the oven during the winter and they dry
nicely. During the summer I sit lots of things (like the tins) out on the
deck to sun dry. The only one that has rusted was left out in the
greenhouse and I'd rust too if left out there to long <g>
We are currently investigating ethnic heritage diets and getting more "back
to basics" and getting rid of all the "modern" foods--convenience, packaged,
instant, etc..
