Eat Real Certified 🥦 Eating real since 2019.
🧡 Every child deserves a healthy, delicious future on a livable planet.
🍓 Now serving over 1M students!

Eat Real nourishes the future of American kids by putting real food on the table at school, at home, and in local and federal policy. Our award-winning K-12 certification program provides Food Service leaders with the framework and support they need to make their school menus delicious, nutritious, and planet-sustaining. Alongside our community of food system advocates, chefs, and parents, we spread the word about the value, viability, and urgency of serving real food at every meal. And we leverage our unique vantage point to push for system change, advocating for healthier policies and higher food standards at the local, state, and federal level so every child can look forward to a healthy future.

For years, we’ve believed that real food in schools changes everything — not just how kids feel, but how they learn.

Today, we have the peer-reviewed study to back it up.

A new study published in Public Health Nutrition found that students in Eat Real Certified schools saw a 5.51 percentage point increase in the proportion of students meeting or exceeding English Language Arts standards, with similar trends in math.

At a time when test scores are falling nationwide, this couldn’t be more important.

To every school nutrition director who fought for better ingredients. Every superintendent who said yes. Every student who got a real meal on a school day. This study is for you. 🙏

The cafeteria is a classroom. And the science agrees.

What a day. 🌱

We had the best time at the California Farm to School Summit this week at Soil Born Farms in Sacramento.

We connected with the farmers, food service directors, educators, and advocates who are showing up every single day for kids and communities.

It was so good to see so many of the incredible people we work with.

This movement is in great hands.

Kids drink an entire bathtub of added sugar every year.

Instead of juice, try out this fun drink instead. 👆

Eat Real partner districts are making swaps just like these to ensure a healthier future for their students. 🧡
