"It used to be that you had three choices for lunch as a kid: (1) eat the slop the school cafeteria dished out; (2) brown bag it and risk being made fun of for the adoring missives your mom would scrawl on the side, or (3) pack that PB&amp;amp;J in a plastic lunch box plugging whatever movie or TV show was the thing at the time (for me, a child of the eighties, it was &lt;em&gt;Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles&lt;/em&gt;).\r\n\r\nBut boy, have lunch boxes come a long way since we were kids. Children these days tote their &lt;a href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/hummus-and-feta-sandwiches-on-whole-grain-bread\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;hummus-and-feta sandwiches&lt;/a&gt;, organic Parmesan and rosemary popcorn, and dehydrated apple rings in stylish totes with built-in gel coolers, rustic waxed canvas bags, and worldly tiffin stackers. It makes sense, of course, that the aesthetics of the lunch box have evolved right along with the food inside. Click ahead for more than two dozen of our favorite lunch carryalls\u2014and don\u2019t be surprised if you find yourself buying one for both your kid and yourself.
