Revolutionary School Lunch Program: How One Texas District Transformed Student Nutrition
Lake Travis ISD has served 10,000 extra servings of fruits and vegetables beyond regular meals through unlimited produce offerings, while students run home asking parents for sugar snap peas after taste tests and participate in synchronized carrot crunches. Registered Dietitian Marissa Bell reveals their game-changing strategies: local food hubs delivering farm-fresh ingredients, strategic pricing making healthy choices cheaper than junk food, and hydroponic lettuce growing right next to lunch lines. This episode provides the complete blueprint for transforming any school's food environment and proving that kids will choose healthy foods when you spark curiosity instead of demanding compliance.
