Ending Processed School Meals: The Real Food Movement in Public Schools | Nora LaTorre

247: Did you know public schools serve more meals than any restaurant chain in America? And yet, many of those meals come from fast food giants instead of farms. This week, I’m joined by the CEO of Real Certified—a company on a mission to change that. Through their initiative Eat Real, they’re working with school districts to replace ultra-processed cafeteria food with fresh, locally-sourced meals that kids actually enjoy. In this episode, you’ll learn how Real Certified is empowering parents, partnering with real farmers, and making it easier than ever for schools to serve real, nutritious food. If you’ve ever looked at your child’s lunch tray and thought, “There has to be a better way,” this conversation is your answer. Topics Discussed:  How can parents help improve school lunches in public schools? What is the Eat Real program and how does it work in school cafeterias? Why are ultra-processed foods still being served in American school lunches? What are the health impacts of poor nutrition in school-aged children? How can schools transition from processed food to real, locally-sourced meals?
