This is so important, because i- it's one thing to, to put on the plate, you know, healthy food for a child, and it's another thing for the child to eat it.

Maria TrakaGUEST
One is basically, will they like it? Uh, is it familiar enough for them? And, and in our r- research, uh, working with schools, we, we're actually, uh, realizing that w- when the school is in a, in an area that is more deprived, unfortunately, those children are leaving a lot more of their vegetables, of their fruits.

Maria TrakaGUEST
And it's really thinking about, okay, so then how do we need to kind of like be able to implement the school food standards that reach the children that absolutely need it? And it's thinking about, um, the foods that they, they like and they're familiar with, pizza, bolognese.

Maria TrakaGUEST
How can you make it healthier, and at the same time, keeping, you know, the taste to an acceptable level? And one of the things that they tell us is, "Please don't give us any completely new foods.

Maria TrakaGUEST
Please use the foods that we love and we're familiar with, and just make them healthier."
