The Healthy Childhood Nutrition course is for anyone interested in raising healthy, plant-based children. Learn about how food affects childhood development and mental health, tips and tricks for feeding your kids while traveling, and how to navigate social settings with family and friends. This course also contains resources for working with school nutrition programs to improve the quality of food served at the school(s) in your community. Learn how to form a school food committee, how to work with your school's food service director, institute a Meatless Monday Campaign, and more. Get connected with organizations that are working to advance school lunches to help you achieve a wide range of goals.
Fire Pods may wish to enact a large scale analysis of (and facilitate an overhaul of) childhood community education regarding nutrition. Going into the schools with tasting programs, cooking classes, or helping build gardens on school campuses may be a part of a Pod's strategy. Working closely with local farmers to connect them with school children may also be a part of a larger opportunity to build a healthier future for our children.
