Robert Lufkin MD As a Brazilian who attended public schools and worked in the education system, I've seen firsthand how our free school lunch program nourishes students with fresh, locally sourced meals. Growing up in the heart of Brazil's Cerrado biome, our free school lunches were a celebration of fresh, local flavors. Here's what made them stand out: Universality: Every student eats for free, eliminating stigma and ensuring access for all. Fresh & Seasonal: Menus featured seasonal fruits and vegetables like siriguela, carambola, and pequi – all native to the Cerrado – minimizing processed foods. Cultural Connection: Traditional dishes like "Arroz com pequi e carne de sol" and desserts like “goiabada” connected students to their culinary heritage. Local Sourcing: At least 30% of ingredients come from local, small-scale farms, boosting the regional economy. In contrast, US school lunches often rely on processed foods and face funding challenges. Could the US learn from Brazil's model to improve student health and well-being? 🤔 #SchoolLunch #FoodPolicy #Brazil #USA #Nutrition #Education #Sustainability
