This one’s a little different: We were just chatting one afternoon, sharing hard feelings about how we’ve been eating and feeding our kids, and we decided to turn on the mic. Our hope in sharing this raw moment is to show that the responsibility of feeding a family and helping shape another human’s relationship with food is heavy sometimes. We all feel unsure in moments. We’re all hard on ourselves. We all want the best for our kids, but can only manage to do the bare minimum sometimes. But at least we have each other.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We’ve been doing some reflecting on the way that we qualify food. Does feeding your family “good” and “clean” foods make you a better parent? A better steward of the environment?

We dig into some of these questions and explore why doing so as the family cook might be important to the people we feed.
