Here is a really NEAT IDEA for a cooking/nutrition class.

I was googling obento with my son for his Japan definitions page and this is so neat. Looking at other sites I googled on this obento definition talked about how in Japan mothers compete to make the fanciest lunch box for their kids. They say in Japan they have magazines on how to do this lunch box art.
