Struggling to get your child to eat fruits and veggies? Do you feel like you're always battling when it comes to food? Then this episode is for YOU!

Today's episode was recorded during a lunch n learn at Hakka Kitchen in Jacksonville, FL (Sept 2022). Don't be scared away by the sound quality as it was in a relatively busy restaurant, but the nuggets of wisdom are well worth it!  You will walk away with immediately actionable tips and tricks.

Leslie Kaplan, PhD  - Professor of Folklore at University of North Florida - leads the discussion and in person taste testing. It was pretty amazing! Discovering ways to introduce fruits and veggies (or any food for that matter) to children WITHOUT the pressure of "you need to eat this" was so refreshing to learn. Dr. Kaplan partnered with Stephanie Crosier, RD to run "Munchy Mondays" in the local school system in Duval County, FL for many years. She then partnered with Corrine Labyak, PhD (my high school buddy) to put it to the test! Their research was published in 2021.

You owe it to yourself to nourish your body with organic food and delightful teas from China at Hakka Kitchen!
