On this episode of Add Passion and Stir, host Billy Shore and co-host Debbie Shore speak with Dr. Katie Queen, a Louisiana pediatrician focused on preventing childhood obesity, and Dr. Rosemarie Allen, a lifelong early childhood and education leader. Together they explore the real-world impact of hunger, food insecurity, inequity, and policy decisions on children’s health, learning, and long-term development. 

The conversation also looks at the first 1,000 days of life, prescription programs for fresh produce, school meals, stigma around food assistance, and why investing in maternal nutrition and early childhood access is one of the most effective ways to improve outcomes for kids. 

If you care about children’s health, education, and public policy, this is a must-listen episode.
