Thousands of parents have been logging on to FunkyLunch.com to see the inventive creations of 36-year-old web designer Mark Northeast of Littlehampton, West Sussex, UK, who claims his son Oscar’s eating habits improved once he hit on the idea of turning lunchtime sandwiches into popular cartoon characters, creatures and even a grand piano.
“Hopefully, it will give parents a bit of inspiration,” said Northeast. The website says: “Funky Lunch was born out of the desire to turn an ordinary lunchtime sandwich into something a bit different to encourage children to try to eat a varied and healthy lunch. We want to encourage children to try different foods in a fun and creative way, and our aim is to provide you with the tools and guidance to turn an ordinary lunch into a funky lunch!
“We hope to produce a book of our Funky Lunches to show you how to create them and how to incorporate new foods into your child’s meal by distracting them from what they’re actually eating.
“In order to achieve our goal, we need to spread the word and concept behind Funky Lunch, so have a look at our Gallery of Images and then either join the Facebook group, follow us on Twitter or just pass the link on to your friends and family.”
