Food Issues
Food Issues

With hundreds of thousands of Americans dying each year from obesity, type-2 diabetes, and a slew of chronic health conditions—all a direct result of food inequities, a broken food culture, and food marketing, and worsened by COVID-19, a significant shift in how we think about food and how we feed our kids must happen now if we want to change the trajectory of health for our kids. Food Issues hosted by health journalist and blogger Julie Revelant features interviews with authors, researchers, healthy food advocates, and thought leaders who want to educate, inspire, and empower organizations, parents, and local communities to create real, lasting change and ensure a healthier future for our kids. Through profound conversations that uncover the real issues affecting families coupled with easy, practical tips for parents, this podcast is the place to change our kids’ futures.

S6:E7: Healthy Lunch Ideas for Kids w/ Gillian Fein, Creator, LaLa Lunchbox
byJulie Revelant

School might be out for the summer, but whether your kids are at camp or at home, packing and serving lunch is a task that never stops. If you’re feeling bored, uninspired, or frustrated because they won’t eat what you pull together, you need some new, healthy lunch ideas for kids. In this episode, I sat down with Gillian Fein, creator of LaLa Lunchbox, the best-selling meal planning app that empowers kids to have a voice in the age-old question “what’s for lunch?” Gillian and I talk about how she came up with the idea for LaLa Lunchbox, her journey to launch and grow the company, the lessons she learned, and the hard decisions she’s had to make. Gillian also shares why the lunch room at school can be an opportunity for children to express and own what makes them unique, and her best healthy lunch ideas for kids.
