Don’t worry. I promise not to post horrible pictures of the sub-standard, sugar-laden, artificial color-filled, over cooked commodity that is the school lunch program in America. It’s enough to make any Real Food loving parent cry. Feeding our children well is a BIG problem. New standards released this month by the U.S.D.A. will do very little to actually change anything.
Real Food Nutrition & Health Textbook
I abhor textbooks. So, you may ask, why did I write one? Mostly because there is literally nothing out there for those of us who want to teach (or learn!) the basics of Nutrition from a pointedly Real Food perspective. If you’re trying to teach your kids to love Real Food (food that is traditional, old, sustainably and ethically grown or raised, etc.), you won’t find a textbook to support your view.
I gave you a heads up a couple of months ago, and now I’m pleased to announce the arrival of the finished textbook. I’ve decided to make the e-Course available to students and teachers in the Fall, to correspond more closely with the school year. But in the meantime, I know many of you want to dive right in — maybe to prepare your exiting Seniors for college, or perhaps to prepare your own lesson plans for the coming school year, or maybe just because you have personally been longing to wrap your head around the basics of Nutrition and this seems like the ideal way to do it.
