Packed Lunch 1 article

A packed lunch is a portable midday meal prepared for work, school, travel, or another setting where food is carried rather than cooked on site. Its practical value comes from portable packaging, cold holding, food safety, and the balance of the meal inside the container. The concept is flexible rather than prescriptive, so nutrition coverage should describe the foods and portions actually involved instead of attaching a universal healthy-or-unhealthy label to packed lunch.
