Humans of Brighter Bites (March 2017, 3 of 3)

“This is my sixth year of teaching. When I first came, the snacks and stuff my students would bring and the way they ate was so different. I’ve definitely seen a change. I mean my kids get excited when we get a bag of oranges. They’re like, ‘Can we put this to the side for snack?’ They are really good about not just wanting to eat everything at once. Before, it was anything they could have. I think it’s because they were hungry and not eating well. Anything they ate was all full of sugar so they were constantly hungry, where now they’re not as hungry because they’re eating more nutritious food. So definitely I think that they’ve gotten healthier.”
