In this episode of Next Up, we’re joined by Darlene Lopez and Megan Martinson from Eagle Mountain– Saginaw ISD for a powerful look at how food, culture, and education intersect inside today’s school nutrition programs. They share their personal journeys into the nutrition world and raise an important question: What inspires someone to choose school nutrition as a career—and how do we bring more people into this work? Darlene and Meghan walk us through their district’s creative approach to menu innovation, from culturally inspired meals to fun fusion dishes like spaghetti tacos and Korean BBQ tacos. As they describe balancing flavor with regulations, we’re prompted to ask: How can school menus better reflect student diversity while still meeting standards?
