SCHOOL MEALS:
WHERE Nutrition Innovation MEETS
TO NOURISH CHILDREN
By Ann Marie Krautheim, M.A., R.D., L.D.
On any given day, one in five children in the United States faces food insecurity. They wake up hungry, struggle to concentrate in class, come home to empty refrigerators and cupboards, and go to bed uncertain about where their next meal will come from. This daily struggle deprives children of the energy and focus they need to grow, learn, and thrive – undermining their health, development, and future. Each day we delay is a missed chance to nourish young bodies and minds.
