SEEing Change in the School Lunch System with Nora LaTorre

🎧 🎙 👏 We are thrilled to bring you this next episode of SEE Change with special guest, Nora LaTorre. Nora is the CEO of Eat Real Certified, a non-profit dedicated to fixing the food system for children and the planet. Click here to download:

Nora is on a mission to make food, delicious, nutritious, and good for the planet through the US public school system. Many people don't realize that public schools are the largest restaurant chain in America serving over seven billion meals a year. Unfortunately, 67% of kids’ calories are ultra-processed calories which are having a negative effect on their physical and mental health. 

The good news is that schools can move the food system away from being ultra-processed and sugary to being delicious, healthier, and more sustainable for the planet. She believes upgrading our food system for the benefit of our children is the cause of our lifetimes and something that she and the team at Eat Real are dedicated to help change. Nora shares examples of how real food can boost children’s mental health, support students’ athletic dreams as well as academic performance, and truly nourish the future. 

This is an issue that affects us all in one way or another. The good news is that Eat Real has created solutions that are gaining traction and being implemented across the country. And by tackling this upstream at the root cause, their model is creating a ripple effect of good for children, schools, communities, and the planet. 🌍 🧒 🏘 🏫
