Note: I mention in this interview to go to episode 38, but things got switched around and it's actually 39. Sorry! No one has to say school lunches are good or bad, healthy or unhealthy.

Picky eating has always been a tricky challenge for parents, but did you know it’s been getting worse in the last few decades and particularly since the stress of the pandemic?

We all know that most pediatricians get about 2 hours of nutrition training, which means some of them give food advice and probably shouldn’t and most don’t bother with food at all. But FOOD is the ROOT CAUSE of so much of what ails our kids! Dr. Song goes above and beyond normal MD training with all her holistic background and she’s 150% qualified…

Chicken nuggets. Pizza. Burgers and fries. Mac and cheese. What do all those foods have in common? They're identified as "kid food" by children and adults alike. What else?
