Making lunch is eating at parents.
Multiple surveys show that parents are losing it over making school lunches. Indeed, the most recent survey on the topic showed that a shocking 85% say that prepping and packing lunch stresses them out — and that dealing with lunch was the most stressful part of the back-to-school season.
Some of this may be driven by allergies. The number of children with peanut allergies has tripled since 1997 and plenty of other allergies like soy and gluten are also rising in children. That can make parents of allergy sufferers stress over lunch, as well as other parents who worry about packing their kids something the child with allergies might get sick from.
