Welcome to the Freedom Kids Podcast, brought to you by the children and young people who play at Felix Road Adventure Playground in Easton, Bristol. 

In this episode, we explore the importance of healthy eating and understanding food. The children share what they have learned about nutrition, why it matters, what makes a meal healthy, and how food affects our bodies.

The group discusses the benefits of fruits and vegetables such as carrots, broccoli and avocados, and the dangers of eating too much sugar, including the risk of diabetes.

The episode also features a cooking session with the Children’s Kitchen Project, where they create a healthy pasta dish with homemade pesto using ingredients such as basil, broccoli, pumpkin seeds, and lemon juice.

The children reflect not only on how to prepare good food, but also on the unfairness of food insecurity, recognising that not everyone has access to healthy meals.

This episode explores how cooking is a life skill that helps people care for themselves and others, especially as they grow older.

The children share their favourite foods, from sauerkraut and curry to chips and Romanian dishes like sarmale and mici. They explain how they learn about food through school, family members, cooking clubs and online platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Some have even cooked in local community kitchens, learning dishes from other cultures like Greek salad and pizza.

They reflect on the many ways to gain cooking skills, whether through watching relatives, attending cooking sessions at Felix Road, or experimenting at home. They describe making toasties on a bonfire, using microwaves and slow cookers, and even learning safety tips like how to use a hob without getting hurt.

The children share thoughtful questions about food and the world: How do tiny seeds grow into big plants? Why are some people allergic to certain foods? How does climate change affect what we eat? They also express a desire to learn more about cooking healthy meals, understanding spices, and the history and future of food.
