Welcome to the community MLWAID. =)
To post a new topic you can click on 'message boards', find the area you're interested in i.e.; General discussions, then the board you'd like to post to; they'll be a 'new topic' button up on the right. Hopefully that helps for next time.
For your question; you can try a few things. There is a product locator (http://productlocator.kraftfoods.com/kraftfoods/productlocator.htm) that you can check for what you're trying to find in your area, and you can also use the contact us area to email/call Kraft directly for a more detailed answer. (It's the first question on the FAQ's list, has a link and number in there.)
Hope that helps, and feel free to ask questions; the posters here are usually very helpful and quick to reply. =)

It is hard at your site to find a location where I could really leave a message. I had to sign in...and then I thought I had it..but I had to choose something unrelated to leave a message. Ok, that was about your site. Now about the other complaint. What has happend to the flavored cool whip flavors..strawberry, chocolate in the regular size tubs?..Now there seems to only be the white cool whip in the big container. DIPS has choclolate, but it is way more expensive. What gives?...I"m a diabetic, and really appreciated the other flavors..I really miss eating those now...maybe it is just my grocery store?.. I don't know..we have been at different stores, and we don't find it in any of those either. Any answers for this.?...thanks.

Schools don't allow them? Seems a bit heavy handed, even though Lunchables are junk.

I so agree with you! They are just way to unhealthy. I would rather use up time and make a healthier lunch than waste money and buy junk! and besides, it's not a waste of time if your not putting unhealthy food in your childs body! I think Kraft should make something like lunchables.....but healthier. Like you said: to much fat is not good.

I woul like to see Kraft make these a healthier option. My daughter does eat them once in awhile. However, the sodium content alone is enough to worry me. Some fat is good.. too much is definately not. Please use this Lunchable idea to create healthy eaters. Thank you.

My granddaughter's school doesn't allow Lunchables anymore, either. Which is fine.
She was Little Miss Petit Jean Ham 2008, by the way!

I agree with you st. b, moderation is the key to most things.
When my kids were of the age they did school field trips these were a nice treat for them, and who doesn't need a day that's made for treats?
Now they're old enough so I put money into a school lunch fund and they pick out their own lunch when there's nothing in the house they want to take along.

>Too much work and kids like Lunchables better. I'm not a kid and even I eat Lunchables. Get two of the Maxed Out ones and you got yourself a nice dinner.
It's nice to see people keeping me in business!
Yes, I agree that the Lunchables are certainly not a 'best option' for lunch. And the "maxed out" versions are the equivalent of "supersizing' at McDonalds (which they have incidently phased out)- and that they supply an alarming amount of fat, calories and sodium (generally around 30% of your daily allowance for the day (as an adult) w/o providing much in the way of vitamins, nutrients, healthy fats, fiber, etc.... There are worse options, however. I would love for all moms to send homemade sandwiches, fruit, veggies, etc.. to lunch with their kids everyday, but realistically that just can't happen (though I must admit that it does not take much time to throw together a PB&J with some grapes and baby carrots or pretzels). But, in a pinch they can be very helpful. Even I have purchased them once or twice when I forgot my son's lunch on the way to pre-school.
The only Lunchable that I would recommend avoiding if possible would be the 16.5 oz Turkey/Ham/Cheese. As per the label- it supplies TWO servings per package. However, my guess is that most people (including myself) would eat the entire package in one sitting. Which would provide over 60% of your day's fat, and more than 100% of the day's sodium.
Once in a while they are just fine. However, if you find yourself (or your kids) eating them on a regular basis, it would be a good idea to rethink how you could substitute with healthier items at least half of the time. (And save yourself a good chunk of money.)

I wish they would take Lunchables off the grocery store shelves.
Too many people who are uneducated about nutrition or worse -- lazy -- feed them to their kids.
Expensive junk food is all they are.

I know it was sarcastic, but I AM tired of people telling me what to feed my family. If I want to give my child a lunchable once in a while, that's my business, not the schools. It's a nice change once in a while.
I wouldn't do it every day. I can give my child some lunchmeat, cheese and crackers for far less money than a lunchables cost, and I can use lower fat / lower sodium meats, cheese and crackers, but occassionally, it's a nice treat.
And, please don't say, "Well, the teachers have to deal with the kids all afternoon, after they've eaten this unhealthy lunch." I am a kindergarten teacher, I eat with my class, have them all afternoon, and come home to my own children. As long as they aren't having caffinated soda and / or a bunch of chocolate for lunch, most children's behavior doesn't change.

Good for her! I'm tired of the food police telling us what to eat and what to feed our family.
If she wants to feed her kids lunchables, why should the school care? They don't have to eat it. If she can't be bothered making healthier lunches and her kids like lunchables, then she should change schools until she finds one that doesn't care either.

I agree, Lunchables are something that *most* kids aren't eating everyday and it is a treat when my kids get to eat one. And I do like keyed up does by including carrots, an apple/grapes etc instead of adding a bag of chips.
