EMPOWERING KIDS TO MAKE BETTER FOOD CHOICES If you have a deep concern for children's health, you've come to the right place. We're The Root Cause, and we aim for empowerment, while keeping things fun. We start conversations with children, parents and schools about food, and how it impacts health, learning, waste and the environment. We're proud to be encouraging better food choices through education and inspiration, and Standing for Children's Health.
