New research has found a critical window between 6 and 12 months of age when children may be most receptive to new foods. This is the perfect time to intro veggies & set your kids up for a life of healthy eating.
These insights align with the work of our Shaping Early Palates partners who are committed to giving parents healthier, veggie-forward options in the marketplace.
More from The Wall Street Journal 👇
As the federal government weighs the first-ever dietary guidelines for children under 2, there’s evidence that the food habits of young kids influence their diet—and their health—later on.
Only with radical thinking, collective advocacy, and transformational leadership can we marshall the power of food systems to eliminate hunger, reduce diet-related disease, address food waste, and heal the planet. In this first US youth-focused prelude to the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit, dynamic young changemakers working across the US food system will share their vision for how we, as a united global community, can meet these challenges head-on. Whether you’re young or young at heart, you’re invited to listen, learn, and engage. Be part of the conversation that will drive the food system of the future toward a better, more equitable world.
🗓️ October 22 @ 11 am EDT -- join Morgan McGhee and other dynamic changemakers from across the food landscape for a youth focused pre-event to the United Nations Food Systems Summit. 💡 🌐 🍎

Here are three things we know:
1️⃣ Food is a primary building block of health.
2️⃣ The current U.S. food system funnels low-cost, calorie-dense, highly processed foods into underserved communities.
3️⃣ The lack of affordable access to healthy food is leading many to die from the ravages of COVID-19.
Partnership for a Healthier America's President & CEO Nancy E. Roman spoke with Axios about the connection between food and COVID-19.

Health equity cannot exist without #foodequity. There are many social determinants of health contributing to the greater number of COVID-related deaths in hispanic and black communities, but access to fresh, high-quality healthier foods is critical to ensure all families and communities can not only survive but thrive during this pandemic and beyond. From Washington Post.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/09/15/covid-deaths-hispanic-black-children/
More than 75 percent of children dying from covid-19 are minorities, a finding that echoes disproportionate death rates among adults.
We're proud to welcome The Food Group as a new Healthy Hunger Relief partner. We're living in uncertain times, but we're fortunate to have partners like The Food Group who are committed and passionate about doing their part to make healthier food accessible to all communities.

For week six of our partnership with SideChef in honor of the COVID-19 Fresh Food Fund, Katie Ferarro of Fourtified Family - The Ferraro Quadruplets & the Baby Led Wean Team has a baby-friendly veggie burger!
These burgers are a nutritional powerhouse that the whole family can enjoy. The burgers are baby-safe, pack iron from the black beans, and the vitamin C from the sweet potatoes help bodies of all ages absorb it. The dipping sauce is not only a delicious add-on, but if you're introducing this to small children and/or babies, it can help moisten the patties, to keep mealtime safe and avoid the choking hazard sometimes associated with dry foods.
