Gaining Momentum in This Revolutionary
Decade of Childhood Nutrition
Our children are facing an unprecedented health crisis. Rates of childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes, and even heart disease are skyrocketing, leaving a generation at risk of debilitating illnesses and shortened lifespans. The culprit? A food environment saturated with processed, nutrient-poor options and a lack of access to fresh, whole foods.
This summit was a call to action. We refuse to accept this as the status quo. We are here to educate and empower with the knowledge, strategies, and connections to transform the way our children eat, ensuring a healthier future for generations to come.
If you missed the two days where disruptive ideas and ground-breaking insights were brought together from the most forward-thinking minds who shared why and what actions we can take to further the movement in child nutrition throughout the next decade, don’t worry. We’ve got you because you can still Upgrade to VIP to get the experience and the Bonus gifts.

MERYL FURY, MS, RN, President, CEO of Plant Based Nutrition Movement (“PBNM”), and Summit Host, went LIVE with our powerful presenters who not only shared WHY they are doing WHAT they do, they also shared what we can do individually and collectively to continue the forward movement as change-makers for our children.
What we need to know is crucial for the well-being of our children, ourselves, the animals, and our planet, now and in the future. Our guests joined us LIVE with their insights and ideas for action that guided us to increasing our impact specifically with our children.

6 Million SEEDS Summit
We were honored to bring together such an amazing group of innovative, purpose-driven, visionary speakers at our 6 Million SEEDS 2025 Child Nutrition Summit. Our goal was to bring you all that you would need to pick up the mantle and assist in getting the message out that helps this movement progress for the benefit of our children.
The Experience…
Top Presentation Topics
Get ready for two days of disruptive ideas and ground-breaking insights. We’re really proud of the speakers and topics we put together to teach and give firsthand experience of the benefits of eating whole plant foods.
Focused Discussions
This project aims to address the nutritional disadvantages children face because of societal pressures and cultural norms about food. Their lives may hang in the balance until we can come together to create change in the foods we’re serving them.
Meaningful Connections
We encourage meeting other brilliant minds, network, and lay the foundations for new, fruitful partnerships thanks to having access via our YouTube Channel and our Action Takers’ Facebook Page. Look forward to the discussions about how adults shape children’s eating patterns, including food choice, food texture, flavor profile preferences, picky eater hacks, and amounts consumed in one sitting.
Not Just Watching
There were in-session chat, polls, and commenting. The full experience of this Summit included the Live Zoom Q&A for our VIP ticket holders.
Each presenter was up close and personal as they did an additional 30-minutes of Q&A for this special group. It got recorded and is yours when you opt in for the VIP package.
Extra Content and Recordings
Upgrade to VIP Access gets you lifetime access to all of the video recordings, the post-session Live Q&A with each Presenter on Zoom, and the great Bonus Gifts.
We know that some of the best insights and information get delivered in the meeting after the meeting and the Special VIP Q&A sessions is where this happened.
Food For Thought
Our tax dollars are being spent on school foods that contribute to illness instead of foods that keep children healthy. It is typical for children to receive nutritionally poor foods nationwide. PBNM is filling the gap so that children, parents, educators, and healthcare professionals can benefit from the usable, relatable information and direct experience with healthy food through partnerships all across the country.

Our 6 Million SEEDS Summit Presenters are ready to empower you to help move this conversation to the next level.
If you know others who can benefit from this information, please share and invite them to join us for free.

Meet Your Host
An experienced RN and trainer with strong organizational and team-building skills, Meryl holds a Master’s degree in Nursing and has certifications from Villanova in Project Management, the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies in Plant-Based Nutrition, Rouxbe Online Culinary School, and Forks Over Knives Plant-Based Cuisine.
Meryl has a passion for plant-based nutrition for healing. She started her plant-based journey at age 15 when she gave up eating mammals. Over years and through a lot of experimentation, Meryl came to realize that giving up all animal products was the healthiest option for her. Now, after years of formal study in nursing, human health, organizational and personal transformation and meditation practice, Meryl’s passion is still to make a difference for people through whole food plant-based (WFPB) eating.

Challenging for Change in Child Nutrition
Organized in 2018 by cardiologist, Dr. Steven Lome, PBNM focuses on the power of plant-based nutrition to help people live their best, healthiest lives, fighting the current epidemic of chronic disease. Today, our attention has expanded to address the nutritional disadvantages children face because of societal pressures and cultural norms about food. These challenges are tremendous and only a fraction of the problems we must solve. We need your help to create a bigger difference. Consider contributing financially to our efforts or volunteering to connect us to other change makers to move the message forward.
