Founder’s Statement from Dr. Margaret Barrow

As a founder who has built It’s Nola on the belief that real nourishment should be accessible to everybody, I am truly heartened by the government’s new steps toward expanding plant-based infant formula options. For so many families, especially those navigating allergies, intolerances, or wanting to align their feeding choices with their values, this shift represents hope, relief, and long-overdue recognition.

At It’s Nola, our mission has always been rooted in whole foods, wellness, and care for our communities. Seeing the FDA begin to open clearer pathways for non-dairy, non-soy, plant-based formulas reinforces something I’ve long believed: our food system can evolve, and when it does, families benefit.

I applaud Else Nutrition for their persistence and leadership in advocating for more inclusive infant nutrition. Their work echoes what drives us every day, creating food options that honor the diverse needs of modern families. Because no parent should have to choose between their child’s well-being and the limited products available to them.

As a woman founder committed to expanding healthier choices, I’m encouraged by this momentum. It tells me that we’re moving toward a food landscape where whole-food, plant-forward options are treated not as alternatives, but as essential.

This is a positive step for parents, for children, and for the future of nutrition in this country. And at It’s Nola, we’ll continue to champion the idea that nourishment—real nourishment—begins with listening to people’s needs and creating pathways that support their lives.

When I heard that recently the US Senate unanimously passed a bill allowing public school children to choose non-dairy milk at lunch, I felt something inside me exhale, a release I didn’t expect, rooted in memories I’ve carried for decades.

Growing up in the 1960s and 70s, my younger sister had an allergy to cow's milk. Back then, the idea of alternative options didn't exist in public schools. You ate what you were given, no questions asked. At breakfast, most kids poured milk into cereal bowls. My sister poured water over hers because there simply wasn't anything else she could have. Watching her do that, quietly and without protest, still sits with me. A child's dignity should never depend on what her body can tolerate.

That memory came flooding back when I learned about this new legislation, championed by Switch4Good founder and Olympic medalist Dotsie Bausch and supported by Wayne Pacelle of Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy. Their hard work helped make it possible for children today to have what my sister never did: a choice.

A Step Toward Food Equity

This bill does more than introduce a new drink option.
It acknowledges a simple truth: not all bodies are the same, and our school systems should reflect that.
Millions of children in the National School Lunch Program are lactose intolerant, yet for nearly 80 years they have been handed a carton of cow's milk whether they could drink it or not.

Think about that. Nearly a century of forcing the wrong food onto growing bodies and then throwing away hundreds of millions of dollars worth of unopened cartons each year. It is a system that has long ignored both children's health and common sense.

The new bill finally breaks that pattern. It opens the door for schools to offer plant-based milks such as soy, oat, almond, pea, and others, giving kids the freedom to choose what works for them. It is practical.

It is compassionate. And it is about time.
What I admire about this legislation is not just its outcome but the persistence behind it. Dotsie Bausch has spent years urging federal nutrition programs to reflect modern science and the diverse needs of American families. Her advocacy helped push plant-based options into both the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the WIC program. Now that same

If this bill had existed when my sister was growing up, she might have had something other than water in her cereal. She might have felt a little less singled out, a little more included. Kids notice these things, even when grown-ups don't.

This legislation does not erase what she went through, but it gives today's children what every child deserves: nourishment that respects their bodies and their identities.

Offering non-dairy milk isn't a radical idea. It is a compassionate one. It gives schools room to honor cultural traditions, dietary needs, and basic human dignity. It reduces waste, saves money, and expands choice. But more than anything, it sends kids a message:

You belong here. Your needs matter. We see you.
That is the kind of message we should be proud to send.

So yes, this bill is a policy victory. But for many of us, it is also personal. For every child who ever felt different at the lunch table, this is a long-awaited moment. It is a chance to build a more thoughtful, inclusive, and healthy food system.

And I believe it is just the beginning.

Have you heard? “Among Americans aged 1 and older, an average of 55% of their total calories came from ultra-processed foods, according to results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between August 2021 and August 2023 and run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” (CDC).

We can do better.

The other day, we were lounging at the beach, and it hit us, summer is in full swing, and we need to share how good snacks keep up the energy. 🏖️

We packed a little cooler with all our faves: juicy watermelon slices, crunchy carrot sticks, and some It’s Nola snacks. Seriously, those in mini snacks are lifesavers!

Between the sun, sand, and snacks, it was the perfect day. So, if you're planning any beach trips or picnics soon, don't forget to throw together some healthy bites. Trust us, it makes the fun last so much longer!

Enjoy the sun and protect your skin. 🕶️🧺
