Local writer and food advocate, Bettina Elias Siegel, will be part of this virtual series on Sept. 3 at 7:30 p.m. In Kid Food, nationally recognized writer and food advocate Bettina Elias Siegel explores one of the biggest challenges of modern parenting - trying to raise healthy eaters in a society intent on pushing children in the opposite direction. From food issues in our society, to picky eaters, to the unfortunate overlaps between junk food and school lunches, Kid Food offers a deeper understanding of the pervasiveness of processed food and all the factors in play for parents concerned about their children’s diets.
