    Nutrition in Schools with Jaree Cottman | Part 1

    What’s really on our kids’ lunch trays—and who should have a say in it? In this episode of School of Thought, host Dr. Meria Carstarphen sits down with special guest Jaree Cottman for a thoughtful, practical conversation about nutrition in schools. Together, they explore how much input parents should have in shaping school meal programs, the realities behind nutritional choices at lunchtime, and why healthy options don’t always mean kids will eat them. The discussion also dives into creative, kid-friendly strategies schools and families can use to encourage students to try new foods without turning lunch into a daily battle. Whether you’re an educator, parent, or advocate for student wellness, this episode offers fresh perspectives on building healthier food cultures in schools—one bite at a time.
