"There's also a lot of food shaming with children. A lot of schools and educators are starting to tune in to the fact that how they educate about food in the school system needs to be a little bit more sensitive because not everybody has access to whole foods or organic foods or fruits and vegetables, for example." - Jill Castle
-
"For some kids, what they eat at school is the most nutritious meals that they will be able to have during the day." - Jill Castle
-
"I'm always telling parents when I'm working with them, don't get stuck on broccoli, green beans, and carrots. There's a lot of vegetables out there. Just keep trying new things. Same with fruit, same with grains." - Jill Castle
-
"Kids have very little control around what is on their plate at home or at school." - Jill Castle
