Well, we'll track it, send it out on social media, and we'll get some of that out to everybody.

Great to see you, Denver, and please be safe in your travels.

Welcome back, everyone, to another brand new edition of Truth in the Barrel Devil's Cut.

We aren't talking whiskey or bourbon today, sadly.

We are talking about the super important topic of school lunches.

I know.

School lunches?

Yes, its value to our kids and society is way underrated.

There's massive data out there showing that when kids are fed healthy meals, they learn more, they get better grades, and they're overall just better students.

So seriously, imagine trying to learn in grade school on an empty stomach.

Unfortunately, that is still the case for many across the country and in Kentucky.

But why?

Today, we're talking to a Kentuckian who made it her mission to make sure the kids of Jefferson County had what they needed to succeed.

And we'll talk about how our country is helping and hurting kids in this area.

Julia Boucher, former director of school and community nutrition services for Jefferson County Public Schools, is with us today.

Welcome, Julia.

Thank you, Amy.

It's good to be here.

Well, I want to start out and ask you a little bit about yourself.

Are you from Louisville?
