does anyone make any bento boxes raw vegan status?

i've seen some really beautiful ones.

[api.ning.com] this one is raw vegan

[farm3.static.flickr.com] this one is not vegan, but i think it's way cuter, and some of you who are more creative in the cuisine department could easily make something like that rv?? that would be so cool! and then post photos on here! =D

[th09.deviantart.com] this one is also raw vegan. super cute. =)

Happy Meal, you been served, sucka. Thanks for posting these; they are very creative and someone with a raw café should get on this.

Someday, maybe we can go through a drive thru and order a truly happy meal of all raw fruit and veggies!

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

shoots what's up with all those little faces and pop up figures pink and violet and red and all.... inside the food?

are they marshmallows colored?

are they edible?

they are awfully cute but just wondering WHAT they ARE lol

ARE THEY plastic?

they seem alien inside food

but dang.. kinda llike something i would go for when i was in elementary school

i guess they are STILL cute

i'll eat them if they are raw vegan ( heeee

I don't like them. Too artificial-looking and contrived. They no longer look like food.

I think my salads and fruits are beautiful enough in themselves just from the colors they contain.

They might get little kids to eat good food, though.

Sundancer, that's what I was thinking.

ha ha

But, then, it is also fun for those who are still a child at heart. Arugula is all grown up and doesn't need colorful, smiley faced food. JUST KIDDING! Arugula, I love your posts!

As long as the faces I am eating are not from formerly live animals, I'm ok with it.

yep they are cute
but i DID notice that the last link

had the heart shaped stuff made out of
WATERMELON

whooo hooooo! i could go for that
think that is really nice
and they had faces on the grapes and the almonds too

either someone has a LOT of time on their hands LOL:0

or they really DO love to make food look very cute and enticing

i'll eat the first and the third bentos thank ya!

Those pop up figures are little toothpicks. It's supposed to help children eat without touching the food directly. I love cute bentos. It's a way that Japanese mothers show their children how much they love them. When I have kids I'll def. make those to encourage them to eat well.

I was reading about them.

it seems like some japanese moms even compete with their kids friend's moms and it's like whoever makes the coolest looking bentos love their kids the most or something. =)

oh and the moms who make crappy bentos they don't love their kid.

i don't like to spend so much time on food, but i wish i had a cute boyfriend who made me stuff like that (raw vegan styles).

pffftttttt!!!!! wow... that is sooooo funny
don't even know what to make out of that fierce bento competition

like another world

but kinda fantastic if the kid can appreciate it

but like i think that it would be cool to show that love to yourself by just making a "i LOVE me bento day'

and go all out with the decorations and all

and take a pic of it and serve it to yourself

show it off

come on

i dare ya!!

post a pic of " I LOVE ME bento!"

yeah!

lol my bentos come in a peel.

ilovejen<<<lazy!<<

My kid will eat anything she helps grow or prepare, but those toothpicks are sooo cute and she has a birthday coming up. Anyone know where to get them?

you know what is a good idea for kids?

you don't even have to use bento boxes or toothpicks.

you can like...
lets say you are cutting fruits or veggies.

you can use a cookie cutter to make those cute little shapes. that is a really simple way to make the food look more apetizing for kids! =)

then, you can use these thingies:

and make fruit shish kabobs!

for salad dressing and such.

okay... so maybe if i had a child i would do this for them... =) i can see myself getting into it.

i guess this is what they use to make the rice into cute little shapes? cookie cutters would be a good idea for raw foods i think tho. idk what i'd put in this. then again i don't really make raw foods that are moldable, but i know some people do? these could come in handy.

[cgi.ebay.com]

not sure how these work, but some other kinds of molds.

[cgi.ebay.com]

well, this is adorable.

[cgi.ebay.com]

see? for bentos.

[cgi.ebay.com]

more toothpicks

[cgi.ebay.com]

even cuter ones.

the ideas are endless.

oh yea i don't know if i mentioned it before, but if you are into eating seaweed it seems like they use a lot of nori to make shapes and drawing with.

i would imagine for people who make nut cheeses and patte you could use the molds for things like that. =)

[cgi.ebay.com]

sory, thse toothpicks are just the best.

[cgi.ebay.com]

even smaller shape cutters.

[cgi.ebay.com]

patte?

[cgi.ebay.com]

more picks

check out this website i found!!

i wasn't even looking! it was just on some girl's signature on this other raw foods forum i was on when i was looking for information about something else.

Hmmm, for someone who doesn't have a lot of tools, her food looks fantastic! Thanks for posting this link, ILoveJen!
