CSFS Associate and land and food systems professor Dr. Jennifer Black and alum Seri Niimi-Burch wrote about their study on mothers’ experiences with packing school lunches.
“These mothers taught us about the complex physical, mental and emotional work needed to provide a “good” school lunch. This included trying to live up to high expectations related to sending healthy and balanced meals that were also tasty and enjoyed by children.”
