If We Are What We Eat, Then How Do Our Kids Survive?
As the mother of a food allergic kid, I know what it's like to anger people by requesting they make changes in how they eat or prepare food. Food is primal, and requesting changes about something primal is hard. I've been on the food allergy road already, and it's not easy, I'm on it, 24/7. (I founded the blog Parents of Severely Peanut Allergic Kids as on a successful group on Facebook .) However, right now I'm talking about something very different, and not really connected to those issues, I'm talking about changing how we feed children in schools. I'm talking about why we need to teach them about food and nutrition earlier than in high school. The reality is, the school lunches they're serving the kids roughly 180 days a year are unhealthy and actually hurting our children, and it's not the school cafeteria's fault, it's the state and federally mandated choices that are in need of rethinking.
