📢 New Government guidance has strengthened councils' powers to prevent fast food outlets from opening near schools. The National Planning Policy Framework advises local authorities to refuse planning applications for fast food restaurants within walking distance of schools and places where children congregate unless they are in a town centre. LACA - The School Food People welcomed the move, saying, "Too many children are foregoing a hot, healthy school meal for an unhealthy takeaway, often enticed by promotions and deals."

👏Inspiring news👏 Western Oregon University has committed to make 50% of campus dining options plant-based meals by 2027. Just one of many universities taking action: "Western University in Canada has achieved a goal of 40% plant-based menus, while in the UK, Lancaster University students voted for fully plant-based catering, and Kent University aims for 30% plant-based meals by 2026. Students at the University of Cambridge and Stirling University have voted to eliminate all animal products from their menus." We need more universities (and catering generally) to follow their lead! Keep up the pressure! #food #meat #plantbased #lessandbettermeat #climatechange #climatecrisis #biglivestock #defundbiglivestock

Nourish body AND soul Meanne describes a food culture reflecting that of Blue Zones, where people enjoy LONGEVITY 💚🩵💙 Nourishing both body and soul, through the combination of nutritious food and positive social connection is a powerful tool for wellbeing and HEALTHSPAN. Improving food cultures in our homes and communities has huge potential. Sourcing local nutritious foods (fruit and vegetables especially), cooking from scratch (together), eating together. A shift in food culture supports the vital shift we need in HEALTH culture (from disease to prevention). Let’s go back to basics - eat densely nutritious, unprocessed foods cooked from scratch, mindfully and together (not mindlessly and passively) and in doing so create positive change for the future! 🤝 🥦🥕🍎🫑🍏🍊💚 #optimisinghealth #healthyfutures #foodculture #healthyeating

School districts in Tompkins County, NY, are serving students scratch-made meals made with local ingredients thanks to the School Food Reboot, a partnership program between the Chef Ann Foundation, the Park Foundation, and six Tompkins County school districts. The Reboot has helped the districts increase their scratch cooking from 53% to 67%. It has also allowed districts to expand their use of local ingredients by adding salad bars in cafeterias. Newfield Schools Superintendent Eric Hatrz participating district, said, "The program funded the salad bars, which we didn't really have, It was awesome when those came in because it introduced our kids right away to some new foods and some really healthy foods."

📣 Life Update (getting personal and vulnerable)…I started a kids cooking school on the side and am now going all in!! Junior Chefs Kitchen provides hands-on cooking classes infused with nutrition education for ages 2-18. Some of you know that I opened the JCK brick-and-mortar Studio in Lincoln Park, Chicago November 2023 while still working full time in tech sales (and trying to be a present mother to my 3 young kids). As of last week, I have decided to go for it and work full time at JCK!!! This is a nerve racking decision but the right one for me, my family and JCK. The demand has exceeded expectations and there are big growth plans so I want to be "all in" (a la Scott Galloway or the sharks on #sharktank).    And in the 9 months we’ve been open, we’ve done some incredible things:  📚 Doubled our after school partnerships - now in 16 north side programs, both CPS and private schools 🎉 Forged a partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Chicago 🥑 Created over 200 teaching recipes 👨🍳 Cooked, ate and taught over 150 kids per week in studio classes and after school programs 🌞 Summer camp was 90% sold out (our first summer!!) teaching over 1,250 kids! 🍽 Partnered with 15 restaurants for Field Trips  🍪 Helped a few Girl Scout Troops earn badges (more to come there!!) 🧁 Baked tens of thousands cupcakes for our Birthday Parties.  🥫 Donated over 400 pounds of food via our partnership with Nourishing Hope 🥦 Composted over 815 pounds with WasteNot, Inc. Here’s why you should check us out - in person, on social or subscribe to our weekly newsletter:    💙 We give parents a break from battling with their kids to try new foods!!  💜 Our Junior Chefs learn life skills - like knife safety, cooperation, patience, teamwork, collaboration, math, and science. ❤️ We are the only kids cooking school in Chicagoland that cooks with meat, fish and poultry as young as 2 years old.  🧡 JCK works with a Registered Dietitian that ensures our recipes are nutrient dense and provides the curriculum for staff to share these factoids. And if you’re still reading 🤣, here’s what’s next: scouting two (2) additional studios in Chicago (West Loop, South Loop, Wicker Park) with the goal to start franchising in late 2025. I want to give local entrepreneurs a way to tap their network with a proven, scalable business model that earns 30% + net margin with a powerful mission.
