S1E11 - A Substantial Spoonful: Striving to feed the most vulnerable among us

Mishelle Rudzinski, Co-founder of SPOON, joins the show to talk about her ongoing fight to address global nutrition and feeding challenges. 

Worldwide, the millions of children without family care, and children with disabilities, have some of the highest rates of malnutrition. Children with disabilities are 3x more likely to be malnourished. Improving systems for children in orphanages addresses one piece of the issue, but Mishelle also explores the critical element of giving caregivers the help they need to keep their children at home, along with other "ah-ha" moments she has experienced throughout the growth of SPOON.
