Free Lunch Persuasive Speech

Seems like just yesterday we were talking about what to do for summer vacation and now it's already time to talk about the woos of going back to school. The challenges of what new clothes to buy that fit in with the "cool" group, or what after school activities to do that work into everybody's schedule. There is just a whole slew of things to think about. But one thing that sometimes is forgotten in this life readjustment phase is... what are you going to pack everyday for lunch and snacks for your gluten sensitive child.

If you decide you are going for a meat sandwich, don't forget to check the labels of the meat you choose, many are not gluten free.

But if you are looking for an assortment of great gluten-free snacks , I would recommend products by Kay's Naturals, Soyjoy and Natures Path
