Summary

The task of educating our children about real food has never been more important than it is now, but it can feel like swimming upstream in a culture saturated with highly processed and denatured foods. Thankfully, we have access to more information and resources than ever before to educate ourselves and our children on this foundational topic.

My conversation with Liz of Homegrown Education dove into the nutritional philosophies of our homes as well as practical ways to incorporate more real food into our children’s diets. Whether you have prioritized real food from your child’s first meal or you are just now beginning to make food swaps in your home, this episode will encourage you to keep making strides in this worthwhile journey.

In this episode, we cover:

Why it is important to teach our kids about real food and nutrition
How your home and cultural environment impacts your relationship with food
What “real food” actually means
Practical strategies for picky kids
Helping our kids get enough protein in their diets
What if a child doesn’t like the meal you’ve made?
A balanced approach to food outside of your home
Achieving healing through food
Making real food a reality in your home when you are on a tight budget
Shifting our mindset around the nutritional vs. monetary value of food

0:04.8	Education. She and her husband are also the host of the Homegrown Podcast where they love to
0:11.1	educate people on homegrown food, not just homegrown food, but also sourcing high quality food,
0:18.9	why it's important how to do it, and then also on a budget. Well, at least that's something that
0:23.5	we're going to go into on the interview because a lot of times I think that's the thing is people
0:27.2	think, okay, this is going to be really expensive. She has some really practical tips that I haven't
0:31.3	really heard before on that topic. We're going into why it's important to talk about it with kids
0:37.3	after growing up in the 80s, 90s, early 2000s, diet culture, all of that kind of stuff. So join me as
0:44.1	I chat with Liz of Homegrown Education. My name is Lisa, mother of seven, and creator of the blog

1:29.2	thing called homegrown about two years ago now, which is crazy to think about like it's been two
1:34.9	years already. But basically, we are homeschooling family. We have three daughters, and when our oldest
1:40.9	was in the second grade, I was just looking for some fun activities, worksheet, something to do with
1:47.0	her that talked about food in the way that matched kind of our family's food values. You know,
1:52.0	my husband's a hunter and he grew up gardening and farming, and I was just getting into the real
1:57.6	food space and figuring out things about like raw dairy and all of these things. And there was nothing
