Nutrislice’s Post

Ready for a last minute Friday afternoon radio interview with KCBS (San Francisco) - all about pouches for babies, toddlers and kids! Based on this article from The LA Times: https://lnkd.in/gFz83khA For me, it boils down to how they are used, how frequently they show up in kids’ diets, truth in marketing, and overall nutrient density. What about you?

Honored to moderate this insightful discussion with three women leaders in school nutrition excellence!

Join our epic food fight to create a healthier, happier future for children! 🍏 Did you know there are no Government backed food regulations for early years settings!? And with shocking reports finding that more than a fifth of the UK's five-year-olds are overweight or obese, we need to do something about this NOW! That's why, together, with early years industry leaders, we're lobbying the Government to introduce clear and robust food and nutrition regulations for early years settings. Help win this battle for children and drive change by joining The Big Nursery Food Fight, here: https://chng.it/QNFZKTnhT6 #TheBigNurseryFoodFight

Here at the Center for Nutrition & Health Impact, every month is Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month 🍒🥑 In June, we're celebrating all that food offers us—from community to preventing chronic illness—fruits and vegetables are the foundation to a healthy diet. At the core of what we do, equal access to fresh fruits and vegetables is at the front of our research, programming and evaluation. Whether it's supporting more scratch cooking in school lunches, connecting local farmers to local markets or supporting national food banks with innovative programming, improving availability and affordability is key to better health outcomes. Addressing barriers to access and considering social detriments of health—such as economic stability and health care access—is something we weave into our research and evaluation so we can better connect and understand effective programming for better food access.

#FunFactFriday! The School Nutrition Association's School Nutrition Industry Conference was recently held in Orlando, Florida and innovation was top of mind. Here are 3 key takeaways from the meeting: 1. Ready or not, AI is here: Imagine a future where students can enter the cafeteria and there are no lines due to facial recognition. 2. Distributors and operators commit to doubling down on communication: It was stressed that foodservice operators should be open to speaking with industry partners about new ways of working together, especially when it comes to figuring out delivery times. 3. Telling the school foodservice story will be more important than ever: School nutrition leaders are encouraged to get involved with their district outside of school by attending sporting events and more. Want to learn more about the efforts being taken to mitigate current supply chain issues and the impending changes to the school nutrition standards?
