143: What Are We Feeding Our Children? Meryl Fury on Food, Equity, and the Future

from Plant Based Eating for Health · host Kathleen Gage

Over 90% of U.S. children aren't eating enough vegetables, and the consequences are devastating. I spoke with @MerylFury on the #PlantBasedEatingForHealth podcast, where we dug into the systemic issues behind childhood nutrition, issues that go far beyond the dinner plate. Meryl brings decades of experience as a public health nurse and food justice advocate. We talked about how food deserts, ultra-processed school lunches, and marketing manipulation have normalized illness in kids. We also explored what real solutions look like, from SNAP reform and school policy to backyard gardens and local activism. If you care about kids, health, or food equity, you won't want to miss this powerful conversation. Meryl brings clarity, passion, and truth to a topic that impacts us all.
