Brown bag lunches

I remember making a brown bag peanut butter and jelly sandwich for my son all the time. He would ask me to make double or triple sandwiches so he could share with his classmates homemade lunch.I would always add a fruit like banana, apple or Grapes and he would buy milk from school.

It is called Brown Bag Bragging.

It is interesting that I was talking to a patient of mine to start brown bagging for their children and grandchildren when I came across article from another medical colleague,Dr.Ingrid Kohlstadt MD,MPH.

In medicine,we have used brown bags for calming a hyperventilating patient. Re-breathing can normalize a blood chemistry.Without planning for a lunch people find themselves eating junk or skipping lunch.

Dr.Kohlstadt has produced a field guide for Brown paper bag refueling rescue.
