Use Thinglink to Share the Contents of Your Lunchbox!

What are you having for lunch today?  It's a simple question but one with a million answers.  And if you really look deeper into the contents of your lunchbox, it opens up a whole lot more questions.  Where did this lunch come from?  What is it made from?  What is the history of the foods?  Why do you like these flavours?  Do we all taste everything the same way?  What makes this a healthy/ unhealthy lunch?  A sandwich is not a simple thing at all!
