Food is Cool
Our Mission is to provide schools/centres, educators and parents/caregivers with game-changing nutrition education that creates meaningful impact. Our Vision is to be a global leader in empowering people to create a positive relationship with food for life. Food is Cool was created when two worlds, and mums, collided: Dr. Flav (nutritionist) and Miss Sinead (teacher). Our approach is fun and engaging... and shocking. The norm in society around food and nutrition is not the evidence-based way. We are here to help you, and everyone who has a role in a child’s life, to re-think and re-work (almost) everything you thought you knew about food and nutrition- and throw quite a bit right out the window! We’ll show you how easy it is to see the meaningful and positive impact by just teaching you how to provide, and talk about food, around children. For Schools, We are empowering Schools & Early Childhood Centres with a holistic, step-by-step childhood nutrition program that’s backed by science. For Parents, we are empowering parents & caregivers with tips and tricks backed by science that’s positive and holistic when it comes to educating your child about food.
