Slow food keeps healthy & young

Hilary Boynton is "The Lunch Lady" at The Manzanita School, where she brings a farm-to-table focus to her nutritional plan. The idea is to feed children healthy farmers market meats, fruits and vegetables that are cooked from scratch

Her mission was born from her and her family's health challenges, in which she discovered she could heal through the power of food as medicine. She and two others co-founded School of Lunch, where she provides education and support

 

One co-founder of School of Lunch also heads the local Slow Food chapter, an organization focused on encouraging people to steer clear of fast food, and instead “eat food that is good for them, good for the people who grow it and good for the planet”

Boynton co-wrote “The Heal Your Gut Cookbook" with recipes and support for people following the GAPS elimination diet to heal their gut and reduce the symptoms of some mental and physical conditions

One foundational principle in the GAPS diet is eating fermented foods, which not only are easy to make at home, but are flavorful and beneficial, and which researchers found could reduce the mortality risk from COVID-19
