And who could possibly care about how many servings of fruit and vegetables is optimal for your kid if you can’t even access fresh produce… or figure out how to use it before it rots in your fridge….or can’t figure out how to get your kid to accept anything other than white food? Jennifer Anderson, the dietitian turned influencer behind @kidseatincolor, is here to offer loads of compassion and guidance to those of us who are parenting at the bottom, struggling to make ends meet, fighting with picky eaters, and feeling desperate to just do a little better.
