20 million kids across the United States rely on the lunches they receive free in school as their main source of nutrition. Yet, often the food they are served is so unappetizing it ends up in the trash. EAT UP follows a Boston entrepreneur as she sets out to reinvent school lunch. Over a year long journey she wrangles with bureaucracy, unwieldy regulations and a team of stalwart lunch ladies to navigate a path to replace plastic wrapped vended meals with fresh, healthy food cooked from scratch that changes the way kids both eat and learn.
