  • S4 Ep83: What's the safest way to talk about food and nutrition at school?

    S4 Ep83: What's the safest way to talk about food and nutrition at school?
    Apr 27 2022
    We've talked about the well-meaning, yet potentially harmful messages kids hear about food, nutrition, and health in schools...but can we offer more than complaints and concerns?

One place is @Dietitians4teachers, the instagram account run by registered dietitian, Gwen Kostal. Tune in for tons of actionable strategies, compassionate guidance, and an innovation session where Gwen and Zoë noodle over how we can best help school professionals embrace protective, food neutral, food literacy frameworks.
