From Jonny
:

I dedicate this book to everyone who is working to improve the health and welfare of our children with better nutrition. And to Michael Pollan, whose work has been so important in raising our consciousness about food. And to nutritionist and humanitarian Robert Crayhon, who continues to inspire so many people every single day.

From Jeannette
:

I dedicate this book to my Real Food Moms partner Tracee Yablon Brenner, to my cousin Jodi Bass, to my bestie Lisa Kerr, and to all the other moms and wives like us who are doing what we can to keep getting delicious, nourishing food on the table night after night (after night, after night…!).
