Raising Planet-Friendly Eaters: Sarah Bridle talks Kim Smith
<p>So far in the podcast we’ve talked about how one of the key ways you can reduce the environmental impact of your diet is to eat more plants. But encouraging those around us to eat more vegetables and pulses isn’t always easy, especially if we’re talking about children. Whether you’re a parent or not, we all have an interest in encouraging the next generation to adopt a planet friendly diet. Which is why I was really keen to talk to Kim Smith, who’s a Trustee at TastEd, a charity that uses a sensory approach to introduce children to new foods. In this episode we discuss:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>How much veg kids are actually eating and how you can get them to eat more</li><li>Why anyone who's ever said 'you just have to try it', has been getting it wrong!</li><li>The importance of talking about what you don't like as well as talking about what you do like</li></ul><p><br></p><p>You can find a full transcription of this episode on <a href="https://youtu.be/KeTeB871KmA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, expand the description box and click - show transcript.</p><br><p>This podcast was produced by Molly Watson, funded by the University of York, working with <a href="https://fixourfood.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FixOurFood</a>.</p><br><p><strong>More about Kim:</strong></p><p>Kim has more than 20 years of experience in the food industry, and is currently studying for a PhD examining food education policy, at City University of London. Kim is also a Trustee at TastEd, a charity that helps children to love eating vegetables and fruit through using the 5 senses.<strong> </strong></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Useful links:</strong></p><p>Kim on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmcgowansmith" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mcgowankim/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tasteeducation.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TastEd</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAWNR-liPW9YXRDlAyUdoyQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TastEd videos</a></p><p><a href="https://simplyveg.org.uk/sensory/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Veg Power</a></p><p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct1rfr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct1rfr</a></p><p><a href="https://www.bera.ac.uk/blog/my-first-conference-view-from-a-phd-student" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.bera.ac.uk/blog/my-first-conference-view-from-a-phd-student</a></p><br><p><strong>Papers / data mentioned:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195666308000718?casa_token=kZGu83EocKUAAAAA:JOGQWDze3IVzu5p86qx5s5ub4LMEYlj1IROzbmK0At_Hkdy4hWvny-5QUpsn7tEuSVi1U-qcbu99" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Effect of sensory education on willingness to taste novel food in children</a></p><p><a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/12/8/2343" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Effect of Experiential Vegetable Education Program on Mediating Factors of Vegetable Consumption in Australian Primary School Students: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial</a></p><p><a href="https://foodfoundation.org.uk/publication/veg-facts-2021" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stats about vegetable consumption from Food Foundation</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/4/2019" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kim’s own MSc research into primary school food education policy around the world</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Why What We Eat Matters for Climate Change: Sarah Bridle talks to Dave Reay
<p><br></p><p>At this stage in the series we wanted to take a step back to ask the questions:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>How important is food when it comes to climate change?</li><li>How much difference can individuals actually make?</li><li>And if we are going to change the way we eat, how can we do this in a way that’s just and fair to everyone? </li></ul><p><br></p><p>In this episode I talk to Professor Dave Reay, Chair in Carbon Management at the University of Edinburgh and author of several books on exactly these topics.
