lol oh gawd.. i dont cook for my DS for lunch. As fussy as he is he is happy to have a vegemite sandwich and that is it. He wont eat anything else and has to have it cut into bite size pieces. ( he recently had a very severe case of gastro and this is all he will eat since at lunch time). He will only eat white bread (even though its not as good as wholemeal.. we were also told when he was sick white bread is easier to digest). He also though will have a banana and sometimes strawberry smoothy aswell. He wont eat the fruit on its own but in a smoothy he loves it. Maybe you could do something like that to go with the sandwich? But yeh i dont think there is anything wrong with a sandwich for lunch as long as they are getting all their vitamins they need at other meals.. lol or in our case.. are having vitamin supliments.

Honestly bread is not the worst possible thing you can give your child to eat. Mcdonalds is hot doesn't mean its good for them. Salads and cold meats are just as nutritious as a hot meal.
Re salt in bread, if you're really worried make your own In fact I just checked my bought loaf and there's 2gms of salt per loaf thats less than a tsp of salt per loaf, I'm not really worried.
Variety is good for some kids but some kids don't like variety. We have everything from sandwiches, dinner leftovers, baked beans, spaghetti, nachos, salad, eggs and on occasion 2 minute noodles. In sandwiches it can be PB, salad, egg, cheese, ham, chicken, avocado etc It just depends. I don't get too anal I try to balance every meal. I had dreams of making hot breakfasts for my kids when they started school... it hasn't happened yet. Maybe when Seth's old enough to dress himself
