  • SEEing Change in the School Lunch System with Nora LaTorre
    May 9 2024

    🎧 🎙 👏 We are thrilled to bring you this next episode of SEE Change with special guest, Nora LaTorre. Nora is the CEO of Eat Real Certified, a non-profit dedicated to fixing the food system for children and the planet. Click here to download:

    Nora is on a mission to make food, delicious, nutritious, and good for the planet through the US public school system. Many people don't realize that public schools are the largest restaurant chain in America serving over seven billion meals a year. Unfortunately, 67% of kids’ calories are ultra-processed calories which are having a negative effect on their physical and mental health.

    The good news is that schools can move the food system away from being ultra-processed and sugary to being delicious, healthier, and more sustainable for the planet. She believes upgrading our food system for the benefit of our children is the cause of our lifetimes and something that she and the team at Eat Real are dedicated to help change. Nora shares examples of how real food can boost children’s mental health, support students’ athletic dreams as well as academic performance, and truly nourish the future.

    This is an issue that affects us all in one way or another. The good news is that Eat Real has created solutions that are gaining traction and being implemented across the country. And by tackling this upstream at the root cause, their model is creating a ripple effect of good for children, schools, communities, and the planet. 🌍 🧒 🏘 🏫

    Check out the links below to learn more about the work that Eat Real is doing to address this national health crisis and how to get involved in the movement. 👏👏 🌍

  • SEEing Change in the Food Industry with Morgan Zanotti
    Apr 2 2024

    🎙 🎧On this episode, we talk with the Co-Founder and President of Primal Kitchen (Primal Nutrition, LLC), Morgan Buehler Zanotti for an inspiring, funny, and candid conversation about Morgan's unconventional career path, current American health trends, and how she co-lead the creation of Primal Kitchen that, in just three years, was acquired by Kraft Heinz.

    Morgan's road to Primal Kitchen began while she was living in South America where she was introduced to the 'standard process cleanse', an elimination diet of dairy, gluten, and most processed foods. Instantly, she noticed how much better she felt and how many of her chronic health issues and 'annoyances' went away. To this day, she still follows the same eating principles and has been on a health and wellness mission to live a cleaner, healthier life ever since.

    Tune in as Morgan recounts stories of what it was like to play a lead role in Primal Kitchen's acquisition as a young woman, her life as a mom of three boys under the age of 5, and what she is seeing from her vantage point with the Ozempic craze sweeping the country. Morgan's depth and breadth of knowledge in clean eating and the food industry along with her fun, light-hearted, and candid style, make for a lively and laugh-out-loud conversation! 👏 😂

  • SEEing Change for Women in Higher Ed with Nancy Weiss Malkiel
    Oct 30 2023

    On this episode, we invited Professor Nancy Weiss Malkiel, the trailblazing historian and author of ‘Keep the Damned Women Out’, to take us back to the late #1960s, a tumultuous time with countless civil rights and social movements, when she was just starting her career in academia. At the age of 25, Malkiel became the first woman to join Princeton University’s history department and one of only three women to join Princeton's faculty overall. 📕 📚

    In this fascinating discussion, Nancy recounts stories about what life for women was like back then and the changes taking place for women at elite higher education institutions. From today's standpoint, it's hard to believe that it's only been 50 years since women were admitted to these elite institutions. Through her stories and her book, ‘Keep the Damned Women Out’, she shares the details and surprising motivations that ultimately led these elite institutions' decisions to go coed.

    Malkiel is an extraordinary historian with a rich and unique perspective. She has been on the front lines of the women's movement that has been taking place over the last half-century in academia, business, and society.
