The Future of Protein-Rich Meals for Our Children's Lunches

The United States is facing a hunger crisis. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2019, 1 in 8 Americans struggles to put food on the table. This is especially true for children, who are more likely to be food insecure than adults. There are many reasons why people are food insecure in the United States. Some people are unable to find a job that pays enough to afford food. Others are living in poverty and cannot afford to buy enough food. Still, others are dealing with health problems that make it difficult to cook or eat. The meals children eat at school may be the most nutritious meal of their day, so why limit the protein and nutrients they receive? As a mom, I want the best for my child as all other families do as well.

One way to help is to provide access to healthy, protein-rich foods like bison. Bison meat is a lean, low-fat protein that is high in nutrients. It is also a good source of iron and zinc.

Bison meat is also a sustainable source of food. Bison are raised on the open range, where they can roam freely and eat their natural diet. This helps to ensure that bison meat is a healthy and environmentally-friendly choice.


There are many ways to get bison meat. Bison meat is available in grocery stores, online, and at farmers' markets. It can also be purchased directly from bison farms such as JJ Bison. Bison meat can be used in a variety of dishes. It can be ground into burgers, steaks, and sausage. It can also be used in stews, chili, and pasta dishes. If you are looking for a healthy, sustainable, and affordable source of protein, bison meat is a great option. By purchasing bison meat, you can help to support the bison industry and help to ensure that food insecure people have access to healthy food.


By educating the public about the issue of food insecurity and sharing the available solutions that are available (like bison), producers can help to build support for programs that help to feed people in need. When we provide nutrient-rich foods such as bison to our children, we are helping them eat better and live better. As a mom, I don't just support bison because it's our family farm, but because I know my son is eating better because of it.
