From Baby Food To BackSnack Program, Making Nutritional Choices For Children

Child nutrition is increasingly a topic of debate. Steve Kraske and guests take a closer look at what we’re feeding our children beginning with baby food.  They also look at the impact food insecurity has on making nutritional choices for our kids.

Guests:

  • Julie Beck, senior associate editor of The Atlantic and author of How Canned Baby Food Became King
  • Dr. Reid Blackwelder, board chair of the American Academy of Family Physicians
  • Joanna Sebelien, Chief Resource Officer for Harvesters

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
