About the episode:
In this conversation, I talk mom-to-mom with Jessie Thomas about practical nutrition for families. As two mothers interested in raising healthy kids, while supporting the health of the planet, and navigating the reality of time and budget constraints, this episode may help you think differently about food and how to navigate tough choices.
Some of the things we discussed:
- the impact of food choices on health and the environment;
- the role of women in creating a culture of nourishment and teaching our kids to care for themselves;
- the significance of local farming;
- advocacy for conscientious food choices;
- the economic and health implications of food.
