247: Did you know public schools serve more meals than any restaurant chain in America? And yet, many of those meals come from fast food giants instead of farms. This week, I'm joined by the CEO of Real Certified—a company on a mission to change that. Through their initiative Eat Real, they're working with school districts to replace ultra-processed cafeteria food with fresh, locally-sourced meals that kids actually enjoy. In this episode, you'll learn how Real Certified is empowering parents, partnering with real farmers, and making it easier than ever for schools to serve real, nutritious food. If you've ever looked at your child's lunch tray and thought, “There has to be a better way,” this conversation is your answer. Topics Discussed:  How can parents help improve school lunches in public schools? What is the Eat Real program and how does it work in school cafeterias? Why are ultra-processed foods still being served in American school lunches? What are the health impacts of poor nutrition in school-aged children? How can schools transition from processed food to real, locally-sourced meals?

A Huntly school has pulled out of the government's revamped lunch programme altogether, blaming the poor quality of the meals. Meanwhile a survey by the education union's found 80 percent of the respondents were not satisified with meals provided by the School Lunch Collective.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon  Trump appeals to SCOTUS on birthright citizenship; Judge says some federal employees must be rehired  The Trump Administration is now taking their appeal for a rethinking of birthright citizenship to the highest court in the land. The Supreme Court has not yet said if they will or will not take the case, but it’s a major update in this fight involving the 14th Amendment. At the same time, a federal judge has ruled that the Trump Administration must also rehire thousands of probationary federal workers who were laid off. We begin Inside Sources discussing the latest on these two legal challenges.    Putin agrees ‘in principle’ to temporary ceasefire with Ukraine  New developments today in the potential for a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia: Russian President Vladimir Putin said he agrees in principle with a U.S.-backed proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine. Okay... so what does that mean? And is that enough? Inside Sources delves into this update and analyzes whether or not it could lead to lasting peace.    President Trump says he won’t back down on tariffs  The back-and-forth on tariffs continues today. President Trump says he will impose a 200% tariff on all wine, champagne, and alcohol coming in from France and other EU countries. The only way he won't put these tariffs in place is if the European Union lifts the tariffs they put in place on the US ... in response to the President's tariffs that he put in place this week on steel and aluminum imports. The Inside Sources hosts discuss how these reciprocal tariffs are affecting consumer sentiment.    Congressional check-in with Representative Mike Kennedy  Utah's newest Congressman has been in office for just under three months, so we wanted to check in with him on how things are going. 3rd Congressional District Representative Mike Kennedy is sponsoring legislation with Senators Mike Lee and John Curtis that would block 'Wall Street' control of Utah's public lands. He joins Inside Sources to explain the bill and give his takes on the federal budget.    Two methods of providing lunches to Utah’s students  One teacher in Weber County is using TikTok -- and her smooth dance skills -- to raise money for school lunches. Kati Jo Christensen dances on her TikTok channel and raises funds to help pay off school lunch debt for students around the district. While she’s dancing around, we wait to see if Governor Cox will sign HB100, which would also help kids get free lunches at school.   

The architect of Tasmania's school lunch programme believes cost should not be the sole focus when it comes to feeding students. 45 of 170 government schools in Tasmania are part of the lunch programme, that has been going since 2022. It's paid for by the state government. The woman behind the programme Julie Dunbabin spoke to Lisa Owen.

With its main food manufacturer, Libelle, in liquidation, the School Lunch Collective has turned to Australia to ensure it has enough meals - with the packaged goods flying in from across the ditch. But despite all the disruption over the suppliers, the government insists the collective will continue to supply the 466 schools covered by its contract on time and in full. Education Correspondent John Gerritsen reports.

An apology and the launch of a nationwide investigation were needed this week after a child received second degree burns from an over-heated school lunch.

17% of children in Tennessee face food insecurity. TN Democratic State House Rep. John Ray Clemmons proposed legislation to provide free school meals — breakfast and lunch — to all TN children regardless if they meet federal SNAP benefit requirements. This isn't the first time Clemmons has introduced this legislation. He's brought this bill forward every year since 2018. It has yet to prevail. In this episode of the Spirit of Bipartisanship, Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller sit down with Republicans Rep. Ron Travis and Rep. Todd Warner and Clemmons to discuss the legislation.

John discusses the House passing Trump's sweeping budget blueprint on a party-line vote, 217 to 215. Then, he chats with Professor Corey Brettschneider about their new podcast "The Oath and the Office". Next, John welcomes back journalist Brian Karem to talk about the epic fails in the media and his new podcast "Reverse Shot". And finally, Keith Price returns to joke with listeners about the lunacy of the GOP and the antics of "Man Baby".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Republican congressman suggests some children receiving free school lunches should work at McDonald's insteadNBC News, By Rebecca Shabad, on January 28, 2025https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/republican-congressman-suggests-children-receiving-free-school-lunches-rcna189614In this discussion, the panelists criticize Georgia Congressman Rich McCormick's recent statement suggesting that children who receive free school lunches should get jobs to cover the cost. McCormick's stance is described as misguided and harmful, with one panelist comparing it to a villainous plot to push child labor. The panelists argue that such policies undermine efforts to support low-income families, including Head Start and Meals on Wheels. They also point out the systemic problems that cause poverty, such as inflation, stagnant wages, and lack of access to healthcare. The group expresses frustration with politicians who use these issues as an excuse to vilify the poor, rather than addressing the underlying causes. They also critique the notion that children need to work for their value, highlighting how such attitudes fail to consider the importance of education and childhood development. The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.06.4 featuring Jimmy Jr., Helen Greene, Rob, and AJBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

During his campaign, Donald Trump promised several times that he would dismantle the US Department of Education. So today we wanted to explore what such a dismantling would look like, as well as what the DoED does in the first place. Turns out, while the Department does an awful lot of things, there is much for which it is criticized that it does not do. Taking us through its creation, its history, and its powers is Adam Laats, professor of Education at Binghamton University. Link to our episodes on School Lunch here and here.And here are some good resources for anyone who wants to know a little more about Jonestown.
