The farm-to-school movement has put schools on the frontlines of the battle to improve children’s nutrition.
estimates that one in five school-aged children in the United States is obese. Poor diet quality in childhood is also linked to vitamin D, iron, and potassium deficiencies and mental health conditions.“I have a friend and when she drops off her child it’s Goldfish and Chex Mix for snack at 9 a.m. You would never have that at Children’s Village,” Clements said.
“It smells good and it is restaurant quality food,” said Nadja Eaddy, mother of 2-year-old Namani. “They make a jam that is delicious.” And while she said she selected Children’s Village for its academic reputation, the food was a bonus. “Namani went to another daycare center and I think the food came from the city in packages. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t compare.”
The process is neither cheap, especially with increases in food prices, nor easy in terms of procuring farm fresh food, but Graham said the effort is well worth it.But providing a meal brimming with fruit, vegetables, and whole grainsis one thing. Getting a child who has grown accustomed to fast food to eat it is another.The average family wastes $1,500 in food each year. Drexel Food Lab wants you to eat your garbage.“Two-year-olds don’t usually have diverse palates,” Clements said.
