school lunches

Associate Education Minister David Seymour says free school lunches can’t continue at such a cost – arguing there’s no evidence it works.  

The previous Government committed more than $300 million to fund the school lunch programme to the end of this year. The programme will be reviewed by Seymour, looking for ways to make it more efficient.  

Charity KidsCan supports schools and early childhood centres across New Zealand with breakfasts and lunches. 

CEO & Founder Julie Chapman tells Kerre Woodham that school food is one of the main sources of nutrition for many children.  

Chapman agrees there needs to be more rigour across the level of waste or surplus food, and explains the use of a portal used by KidsCan that calculates quantities based on demand.

A Budget document shows Treasury is less than enthusiastic about the free school lunch program, Ka Ora, Ka Ako.

A report to the Finance Minister claims the scheme did not impact attendance and provided little benefit to Māori students.

The document also revealed funding for the program ran out at the end of 2023, with permanent funding dependent on proof the scheme was effective.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Treasury was right to run Ka Ora, Ka Ako as a pilot program.

Welcome to Episode 130 of the Autism Parenting Secrets. 

This week we’re excited to welcome Zen Honeycutt back to the show.  Getting food right for your family is the overall topic.

Zen is the Founder and Director of Moms Across America, a non-profit National Coalition of Unstoppable Moms.  She has three boys with allergies and autism symptoms which greatly improved when they went GMO-Free and organic. 

She’s a force for truth and she’s undaunted by the resistance that seeks to downplay and confuse parents like you.

In Episode 103, Zen made a compelling case for why going organic 100% is worth it.  If you missed that episode listen to it first.

This episode builds on that discussion and centers on why more caution is needed when your child eats away from home.

Zen’s organization recently completed and issued the results of their comprehensive School Lunch Testing Program.

While school lunches are a gift to so many children and families, the unfortunate truth is you need to think twice before trusting the government and the school system to feed your child.

The secret this week is…

You'll Discover:

TW: Brief mention of assault/harassment in the workplace (18:46)

If you’re a lover of stories and scotcheroos you’ll eat this episode up. Marketer, foodie, and storyteller Darcy Maulsby joins me for a deep dive into the wild world of storytelling, both for brands and ourselves. We explore what elements make any story a well-told one, including the history of Darcy Maulsby and Co. My favorite section of this episode is our discussion on midwestern food history, trends, and culture. Why is the midwest so obsessed with food? And how did the beloved combo of chili and cinnamon rolls first begin appearing on school lunch trays? Darcy and I round out the episode by discussing some of the topics covered in two of her books, “Classic Restaurants of Des Moines and their Recipes” and “A Culinary History of Iowa”. If you like to eat (and who doesn’t?), you’ll devour this episode! 

If you enjoy true stories well told, you have a lot in common with Darcy (Dougherty) Maulsby. As Iowa’s Storyteller, Darcy believes anyone who eats has a connection to the things she’s most passionate about, including food, farming and history. As a 5th generation farmer, business owner, author, marketing specialist, historian and speaker, Darcy helps businesses uncover their “wow” stories and share them to inspire people to dream bigger, revitalize their rural communities and change the world for the good, one story at a time.

This month, we're going back to school with stories of the most influential women educators in history. 

History classes can get a bad wrap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Encyclopedia Womannica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should.

Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know -- but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Encyclopedia Womannica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. 

Encyclopedia Womannica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Liz Smith, Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Sundus Hassan, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, and Ale Tejada. Special thanks to Shira Atkins.

We are offering free ad space on Wonder Media Network shows to organizations working towards social justice. For more information, please email Jenny at pod@wondermedianetwork.com.

Does America have a healthy relationship with food?

In addition to the direct health effects of diet, food production and distribution affects environmental factors, which then trickles down to our health statuses. For example, an estimated one quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions relate to food production.

In a new paper published in the climate-centric December edition of Health Affairs, Mary Kathryn Poole, a PhD student in population health sciences at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and colleagues explored the relationship between The National School Lunch Program, one of the largest federal food programs, and its impacts on the environment.

In this week’s episode of A Health Podyssey, Alan Weil interviews Mary Kathryn Poole to discuss her paper, the EAT-Lancet Commission’s reference diet, strategies to reduce red meat consumption, and how they relate to planetary health diets.
