Episode 8: Finding the Baby: Food Justice, Part 2 (Sept. 15, 2023)

The Get on the Early Childhood Bus podcast dives deep into food security, nutrition, and equity for families with young children. In this episode, hosts Bettina and Penny sit down with Chef Greg Christian to uncover the systemic barriers that shape what families eat—from agricultural policies and school food programs to access, affordability, and stigma. Together, they challenge the idea that poor nutrition is about “bad choices” and instead explore how inequities in farming, legislation, and food distribution create limited options for families. From SNAP program frustrations to USDA school meals, they highlight how policy and culture shape childhood nutrition—and how communities can push for food justice. You’ll also hear Chef Christian’s vision for change: raising children to crave nutrient-dense foods, building culturally relevant systems, and ensuring that equity, access, and respect are at the heart of every solution. ℹ️ For more info, visit erikson.edu/applied-research/policy-leadership/get-on-the-early-childhood-bus/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=episode-8-finding-the-baby-food-justice-part-2-sept-15-2023- HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 – Introduction 00:24 – Welcome to the Early Childhood Bus Podcast 01:06 – What About Equity? 01:19 – Chef Greg Christian on Food Inequities 02:18 – Families and Systemic Barriers to Nutrition 03:12 – Corn, Soy, and the Processed Food System 05:00 – Blame vs. Asking Families What They Need 06:14 – Rethinking Equity of Access, Choice & Opportunity 07:00 – Food Stigma and Family Resourcefulness 08:29 – Parenting, Convenience, and Mental Health 09:57 – Teaching Kitchens, Policy, and Systemic Failures 11:20 – SNAP Barriers and Humiliating Grocery Experiences 13:39 – Equity in Food Access & Cultural Respect 15:35 – Chef Christian’s Vision for Food Justice 17:18 – Craving Nutrient-Dense Foods from Childhood 19:14 – Sharing Power & Changing Systems 21:00 – Advocating for Healthy Food in Communities 22:16v Removing Barriers, Building Autonomy 23:22 – Call to Action - Food Security & System Change 25:00 – Closing Thanks & Final Reflections
