"Access to good food must be combined with education about good food," says Pamela Koch, executive director of TC's Laurie M. Tisch Center for Food, Education & Policy. "If you are only putting food in front of kids and not actually getting them excited about eating it, students may not each as much of that good food as we would like. The investment our country is making to ensure good food is accessible and affordable will have maximum impact if combined with quality nutrition education."
