3The Homegrown Children's Nutrition Curriculum features 27 engaging lessons designed to teach your child about real food. The book covers various nutrition topics such as food groups, macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals. It also discusses the many complexities of our food system including farming practices, government regulations, genetically modified foods, and more. Perfect for students in 3rd-6th grade, this student-led workbook focuses on traditional dietary wisdom that often runs counter to mainstream dietary advice. Liz Haselmayer is a writer, avid home cook, and real food advocate. Her passion for accurate nutrition information stems from her own experiences with our pervasive diet culture. As a homeschooling mother, Liz knew the importance of establishing healthy food values at an early age. She searched for a nutrition program but unfortunately, nothing on the market echoed a holistic approach to food. Out of a need for her own family, Liz compiled a detailed nutrition curriculum that reflected the traditional dietary wisdom she utilized in her kitchen. Today, Liz continues to create resources for families and students, helping as many people as she can embrace a real food lifestyle.
