Eh, my kids love them all. But we're mean parents and hand-pack them healthy lunches for school, so they only get them occasionally as treats. My kids just started school, and today they got freshly cut fruit, rice, and some marinated beef (cooked this morning).
But they'll inevitably complain when they get home today that their friends got lunchables or the ghetto school lunch or whatever.
You feed your children lead and sodium as a treat??
Yup, and if you drink tap water, you also consume lead. The important thing is how much lead is there, and it's fine provided you don't eat them regularly.
We give them lunchables like 2-3x/year, I really don't think it's a problem. There's probably more lead in the water they drink at the school than the lunchables we give them (we soften and filter ours at home).
The lead contamination were only (or at least predominantly) from Lunchables made specifically for schools, not ones that you buy from the grocery store. These are also the ones that have the increased sodium levels (on average by 300mg iirc).
