Question

How do you keep your school lunch fresh until lunchtime?

Answer 1

I have a cool bag with mini ice blocks and it keeps my lunch cool no problem until lunch

Answer 2

...plastic bag + lunchbag. Make sure your lunchbag is insulated enough to keep warm air out. Or you can keep it super fresh and eat it before you leave for school!

Answer 3

in addition to all of the above

if your having a salad, have your dressing in a separate container that way the salad is not soggy when it's time to eat it.

Answer 4

Get an insulated lunch bag.  The insulation helps.  Then get about 3 of those blue things, you freeze in the freezer, to keep things cold.  Get ones that will fit nicely in the lunch bag.  The reason you get 3, is so you always have one that's ice-cold.

When you put food in the bag, put the things that are most likely to spoil right up next to the cold block.

Answer 5

You know, this question really amazed me because as a working "adult" (I'm only 20, hehe) I get a refridgerator in which to keep my lunch at work.  I can't believe that minors aren't extended the same courtesy in most high schools, now that I've seen how nicely adults get treated.

To answer your question, though, get freezer packs and a sturdy lunch box (not just some cheap flimsy dealie).  Your lunch box should be made from thick fabric and have a zipper to close the main compartment, not velcro.  

Then put those blue freezer packs (I think the brand I used was called Ice Pak) in the lunch box with your meal.  One should be fine unless you want something to be very cold when you eat it, in which case pack one on top of the food and one on the bottom.  Make sure the Ice Paks are frozen solid first, of course.  :)
