National Pack Your Lunch Day is celebrated on March 10th of every year. Lunch packed from home is always special, as the person who prepared it would have made it with love. One could reminisce that lunchtime was a very special break time, especially for those who have attended school. Many of us would have become friends once after sharing the lunches. So the daily mystery inside the lunch box will surely make a person enjoy the food with excitement. Over the year, most of us are opting to eat food from hotels and restaurants as with the work pressure and busy schedule. Most of us eat fast food and as a result, we have forgotten what a healthy lunch is. Thus National Pack Your Lunch Day has been created and celebrated as a way to make anyone prepare and eat a healthy meal during their lunchtime, at least for a day.
“It’s nice to just be a kid and hang out with your friends at lunch.” – Karlie Kloss

Lunch is commonly the second meal of the day taken after breakfast. Lunch is the abbreviation for luncheon, and the origin of both words relates to the food eaten at any time of the day or night. But the meaning has gradually changed to a small or mid-sized meal eaten at midday during the 20th century. The lunch served varies in size depending on the culture, and the most significant variations exist in different areas of the world.
