artful lunch

Kai Wilken uses kyaraben daily when making his son's sandwiches. The japanese practice consists of arranging meals to look like characters. One picture featured in the paper is of him creating Mickey Mouse out of deli meat. He appears to have a really amazing creative ability, but I cannot see the benefits of spending so much time on a 5-year-old's lunch. I spend less than 2 minutes preparing my lunch, if I can even spare that much time. But there is something to be said about his dedication.
