EP 44 - The "Dude, 'are your tots soggy?!'' Edition Education on the Rocks

    • Education

While George and I remember tasting the paste as we muddled our way through arts and crafts in kindergarten, most people’s school culinary memories are of sitting on benches in crowded cafeterias, trading PB&Js for chocolate pudding, partaking in real or imagined food fights, and, of course, doing battle with the proverbial lunch lady. As the vast majority of American students are headed back to in-person school this fall, we want to open our fourth season talking beyond the classroom as we explore the importance of school lunch programs. Today, despite film depictions of trays of brown sludge and tiny milks, we’re going to discuss how the school lunch is integral not only to fueling our students’ bodies but also their minds.
