120. What impact does nutrition have on learning? with Stephen Ritz, founder of Green Bronx Machine

According to Feeding America, more than 9 million children faced hunger in 2021. That’s 1 in 8 children.  Children facing hunger are more likely to repeat a grade in elementary school, have social and behavioral problems and experience diminished language and motor skills.   What impact does nutrition have on learning? How can we encourage nutrition among our students and in our schools? And how can we improve access to healthy food for students and families?  In this episode, Stephen Ritz joins Kevin to discuss the link between nutrition and learning.
