For the first time, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend "eating real food" that's “whole or minimally processed” — something we've championed for 16+ years.

This is significant. The Dietary Guidelines directly impact what kids are served at school.

It’s estimated that the proportion of meals made from scratch in schools is fewer than 25% (U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm to School Census). And more than 60% of a typical child’s diet = ultraprocessed foods (CDC).

The new guidance on avoiding ultraprocessed foods is a meaningful step in the right direction.

The next step is to .

According to a 2026 School Nutrition Association survey, the vast majority of schools (90%+) lack the funding, equipment, and training to cook more meals from scratch.

We must increase funding for school nutrition programs and equip schools with the resources they need to cook fresh, healthy meals for the nearly 30M kids who rely on them.

Happy New Year from Project Healthy Kids! 🥕✨

Before taking some well-deserved time to rest after a busy year, we wrapped up 2025 with one final Food Adventure alongside our friends at the Ebenezer Community Outreach Center!

Chef Joe guided our little chefs in making a healthy and delicious Pumpkin Pie Smoothie, while Miss Leah shared fun facts and the powerful health benefits of winter squash.

Connecting with our community—especially the Fairfield neighborhood we call home—is at the heart of what we do. And above all, we cherish the time we get to spend cooking, learning, and laughing with our amazing little chefs 💚🍽️
