My child insists on having Peppy and Lays for lunch in his tiffin box. He refuses to eat anything else saying that all the kids bring this to school. I dont know how healthy this is. Hes in the third standard and I feel he should be eating nutritious food but how do I convince him? shweta replied. add variety and colour .salad (boiled broccoli /carrot),any stcky rice(shaped in triangle or ball with lil masala)/stuffed partha,a piece of chicken /boiled egg/baked potatoe,some fruit for dessert lela replied. Your child is growing and needs nutrition. Tell him his bones will get weak and he won't have strong muscles if he doesn't start healthy habits now. And its true- who ever heard of a healthy kid who only ate Peppy and Lays?
neeta replied. My daughter was the same , I started encouraging her to have other things saying that slowly she will ahve weak bones, she cannot run and she will not feel better to go to school . Also I expalined to her that her teeth will get affected, at home I started cooking nutritous coloured food and started sticking tooth picks and gave her chop sticks to make it more attractive
try it
it should work Prasad replied. tell him that he will get the marks for it Shruti replied. Hi there,

How are you? The problem that you are facing is very common nowadays. Your son is too young to understand the value of nutrition. What you can do is that instead of giving him lays or peppy as a main item give it as a side dish. Let the main item be a veg. sandwich or something that he likes. That way he will be getting the required nutrition and he'll be happy too. Hope that helps.
