More on lunchboxes

This article for spiked brings together the two recent surveys about lunchboxes. It argues that the health problems are over-stated. There are problems associated with morbid obesity, but to extrapolate them to bigger-than-average kids is not warranted. Moreover, lots of assumptions are made about diet which don't seem to be borne out - for example, that dietary habits from childhood are ingrained.
