190. Revolutionizing the School Lunch System with Barbara Mechura Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

It’s no secret that school lunches have been in decline for decades. Chances are, the food you remember from school would give you nightmares if your child’s cafeteria served it in 2022. Yes, Michelle Obama did some good work in the space – and progress has been made. But as we learn today, there’s a lot of work left to do when we’re talking about truly healthy school lunches.

My guest today, Barbara Mechura, school nutrition director and holistic health coach, has dedicated her career to shifting this narrative toward scratch-made meals. We learn that, while it’s certainly more work, these mindfully prepared meals lead to a better outcome for everyone involved (students and staff).

It’s time we stopped taking the easy way out with pre-packaged convenience foods that create serious long-term problems for students’ health. Barbara shares how we can get involved in our school district’s food decisions, and that they probably need our help.

You will learn about...

Barbara’s background
Negative impact of processed school lunches
The work that goes into from-scratch school meals
What parents can do to help their school system
Tips for distracted eating
Focusing during mealtime

189. Bringing Joy to the Table with Jennifer Anderson of Kids Eat in Color #FabulousFriends Jun 17, 2022

Show notes

Feeding kids is hard, even when you’re an expert in the field. Jennifer Anderson is a registered dietician and has a Master's of Science in Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Her journey with childhood feeding started when her 3-year old, as she says, fell off the growth chart. What she discovered included more questions than answers – at first.

In 2017, she founded Kids Eat In Color, a popular online resource that helps children and families from all backgrounds have better nutrition and mental health via access to expert, actionable information. Prior to starting Kids Eat In Color, she coordinated youth nutrition programs at a food bank, performed research in inner city food deserts, and consulted for the USDA.

Our conversation is another mom-centric goldmine of real world advice and reliability. Jennifer and her brand take all parents as they are; no food is good or bad – and if you did your best, what you did was good. Even if our hurdles, and those of our kids, seem unique at the moment – we’re all in this together.

You will learn about...

How Jennifer got into children’s nutrition
Strategy vs. control with eating habits
Raising competent eaters
Using positive framing and avoiding confrontation
Parenting with a thick skin
Emergency meals (eggs are a safe bet)
Discussing nutrition with your kids
Knowing that your best is good
