Healthy Vegan School Lunches

What a student eats affects everything from their health to their academic performance! Research shows that students may have lower grades because of unhealthy high-fat, low nutrient-dense diets. Yet, school lunch menus are still overflowing with an abundance of pizza, burgers, chicken nuggets, and milk every day.

That is why an increasing number of parents are learning that healthy vegetarian school lunches can be a powerful way to boost their child's health and confidence.

In this episode, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll sits down with nutritionist and vegan parent Susan Levin to find solutions to combat exploding childhood obesity rates and get plant-based options on the lunch line!

Naturally, we couldn't do this show without sharing some fun recipes. Dig in!

Also, Dr. Jia Xu is on a mission to make his home country a healthier nation. Hear his extraordinary story of biking across China to raise awareness for the benefits of eating a plant-based diet. Through the 2,500-mile ride, Dr. Xu introduced thousands to the Mandarin-language 21-Day Vegan Kickstart program and his trips have become legendary! He's become somewhat of a celebrity, too!
