Is it going overboard, frustrated food stylist-wannabe or just very VERY creative parents? A fun gallery of extraordinary bento or lunch packs that make you feel like a slacker for having a process bologna sandwich on Wonder bread. For those who are big fans of Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli films like yours truly, you’ll see many a totoro in the mix. Happy creative meal-making each and everyone!
I love this and I hope the kids appreciate it. Or is it morbid to eat a hard-boiled Eve?

I’m sure Buy N’ Lar… er, Disney’s lawyers will quickly send this little slice of genius to tamago heaven.
I had an Eve this morning for breakfast. She was delicious.
This is so Japanese! My mom has a book full of bento ideas just like it.
Oh man, I thought making Lila all fresh organic food was enough. Now I’m totally screwed.
Well for those of you who might have missed it the first time, if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the linked page, there are cropped images to even more photos of fantastical creations. These people do not know the meaning of keeping it simple. ;)
The Japanese just can’t get enough of Obama:
