With the average American enjoying 7.7 pounds of peanuts a year, our country sure has a thing for peanuts. But we don’t just eat them quietly and call it a day. Nope. Instead, peanuts and peanut butter are loud and proud parts of pop culture. In this episode, we’ll scratch the surface of peanuts omnipresence in pop culture through interviews with jewelry maker Mini Hay Avant and sports dietitian nutritionist Leslie Bonci.

This episode is hosted by Naim Walcott, West Hampton Beach School Nutrition Director and President of the NYSNA and features insightful discussions with Mary Ann Dayton from the Infinity Group and Joe Kilmer from Greater Southern Tier BOCES. The conversation focuses on the impact of universal meals and Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) programs in school nutrition.

Join host Mike Craig for an engaging conversation with Warren DeShields, Director of Foodservice at Bridgeton City (N.J.) Public Schools. Follow along as we learn more about Warren’s journey from being a chef to a dedicated school nutrition leader. It’s inspiring how he’s discovered genuine fulfillment in providing nutritious meals to students—so much that he hasn’t felt like he’s worked a single day in the past 20+ years.
