Episode 10 One of the biggest criticisms of the National School Lunch Program is the quality of the food. Healthier food costs more money to make, so many schools just don’t have the funding to improve school lunches.
Plus, we have a long way to go when it comes to teaching kids to choose healthy food.
There's no doubt that any food is better than no food. But studies have shown that students who regularly eat hot lunches are more likely to be overweight and obese as opposed to kids who bring their lunches. And poor nutrition can cause cognitive delays in children.
A lot of food ends up going to waste, and the quality of the ingredients isn’t as high as it could be.
Aunt Connie’s Ed-U-Kitchen™ was developed to address the need of families to learn nutritional behaviors that achieve and maintain healthy consumption of food.
Ed-U-Kitchen’s curriculum provides participants with an engaging, enjoyable, and sheltered learning environment that promotes increased awareness, skills and confidence in making healthy food choices.
