Brain Healthy Lunch at School

Now that so many of you have seen success adopting a Grain Brain lifestyle, I’ve been inundated with questions from parents who want to, or are, bring this program to their children. Unfortunately, they note, they don’t have control over every meal their child has, especially those in elementary and middle school. Each day, moms and dads have to go toe-to-toe with their archenemy: the school lunch lady.

Now, it’s not the school lunch lady’s fault that meal options in our schools are sub-standard, so we shouldn’t blame the messenger. That said, the state of our public school cafeterias is quite disturbing. You all may remember the incident from late least year when a mother was fined for not giving her son a grain in his bagged lunch. The problem isn’t our lunch ladies, who provide a valuable service, but poor nutritional guidelines on the part of our government and school administrators.

However, there are a few things you can do to control what goes in to your child’s body during the school day. In this video, find out what those are.
