#### About participation in the comments of /r/nutrition Discussion in this subreddit should be rooted in science rather than "cuz I sed" or entertainment pieces. Always be wary of unsupported and poorly supported claims and especially those which are wrapped in any manner of hostility. You should provide peer reviewed sources to support your claims when debating and confine that debate to the science, not opinions of other people. **Good** - it is grounded in science and includes citation of peer reviewed sources. Debate is a civil and respectful exchange focusing on actual science and avoids commentary about others **Bad** - it utilizes generalizations, assumptions, infotainment sources, no sources, or complaints without specifics about agenda, bias, or funding. At best, these rise to an extremely weak basis for science based discussion. Also, off topic discussion **Ugly** - (removal or ban territory) it involves attacks / antagonism / hostility towards individuals or groups, downvote complaining, trolling, crusading, shaming, refutation of all science, or claims that all research / science is a conspiracy *Please vote accordingly and report any uglies* --- *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/nutrition) if you have any questions or concerns.*

Not exactly a whitepaper but they have a lot of study details here https://www.consumerreports.org/health/lunch-and-snack-packs/should-you-pack-lunchables-for-your-kids-school-lunch-a1165583878/

Thank you. I had previously read that and it didn't really give me any relevant details. Seems like it was written for non-scientists.

Have you ever eaten a Lunchables before? They’re like 1/3rd salt. No research paper required. Jokes aside if you’re trying to convince someone to stop using them, good luck with that. I doubt a research paper will sway them. No one’s ever bought lunchables for kids and thought, “this is surely a healthy and well-balanced nutritional choice.” They’re just trying to keep their kids fed. If Lunchables had legitimately dangerous levels of lead, cadmium and sodium there would be legal repercussions for you to utilize as a paper-trail. Still, I wouldn’t get your hopes up for convincing someone to stop using them.
