There’s this hilarious, genuinely sweet kid making TikToks where he reviews his school lunches. He’s honest, funny, and full of charm. You should follow him. But I can’t help feeling that he’s a victim of our broken nutrition system. The school lunch program and dietary

By law, the Dietary Guidelines must serve the "general public"—which now has one or more chronic condition (60%-93%, according to various estimates). The Guidelines is required by law to include an option for the vast majority of Americans This option must reflect the science,

For those who believe a sandwich is the lunchbox centerpiece, the trick is maximizing the "filling-to-bread" ratio and prioritizing what’s inside: high-quality proteins and some veggies. This tweak could make a big difference in satiety and performance.

Why are we still giving kids sugar disguised as ā€œhealthy snacksā€? Steer clear of the granola bars. Even some popular "nut" bars can be surprisingly high in sugar, so check the label first. While a Snickers bar has 28 grams of sugar, many energy bars have that or more!

Protein for growth and learning. Young children eating meat daily scored higher on cognition tests and saw improvements in behavior. (PMID: 36364760) But Meatless Mondays are in thousands of schools nationwide. Make sure your child gets what they need.

Don’t forget breakfast. Eggs are ā€œnature’s multivitamin,ā€ full of protein, and one of the best breakfasts you can give a child.

How did we get to a place where schools serve Cheetos but ban fresh eggs? 1 in 5 kids are obese. The USDA’s school lunch hasn’t caught up to modern science, and our kids are paying the price. Here are 5 ways to make your child’s lunch healthier, and why policy must change 🧵

You might think USDA guidelines don’t matter if you eat low carb at home. But they control far more than just a food pyramid on a website. šŸ“œ The truth is, those guidelines are legally required across all federal food programs. šŸ« That means school lunches must follow them. šŸ„

There's only one clinical trial on diet and constipation (as far as I know), and it found that a zero-fiber diet was the most effective. https://t.co/iVRTkAZFks
