59: Exploring the Journey of Engaging Kids in Eating Fruits & Vegetables - Women's History Month Celebration

Nine out of 10 kids don't eat enough vegetables, according to the US Centers for Disease Control. Marketing companies spend $1.8 BILLION marketing junk food to kids as young as 2. A farmer, two farm to school program educators, and a chef have committed themselves to combat this issue by creating meaningful, turn-key resources that are accessible, impactful and fun!

Having spent a decade traveling classroom to classroom, school to school, educating kids (and teachers) about how and why to eat fresh fruits and vegetables now run Small Bites Adventure Club, a monthly subscription kits that make it easy for grown-ups to introduce fruits and veggies to kids, and a fun way to highlight the real heroes in our community- our farmers! Continuing the focus on Women's History Month, in this episode, learn from co-founder and CEO Erin Croom and Chef Educator Asata Reid about how they are creating HERstory by educating kids and adults the fun behind eating fruits and vegetables.
