For anyone who has kids in school or who cares about what kids eat, Eating at School is essential reading. It is a warm, reality-based, and entirely practical guide to why school food should set a healthy example, and how to approach fixing it when it doesn’t. The authors understand what schools and caretakers are up against and provide all the evidence anyone needs to make healthy school food a priority.
Marion Nestle
Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University, and author of Unsavory Truth (Uma Verdade Indigesta in its Brazilian edition).
The authors talk about school food in an informative, accessible, and sensitive way. This book reminds us that we are the protagonists of our lives, and that small changes are often the first step toward deeper transformations. I hope this reading encourages us to take action to transform schools into healthier spaces and make children’s eating experiences more meaningful.
