I honestly don't see these explicitly-teach-your-kids-STEM products solving the problem. They're unaffordable for most parents, they're narrow in scope, and there's a good chance your kid won't even like them.

It reminds me a bit of Oliver's, a fast food chain in Australia. They set up shop at roadhouses along major highways, and market themselves as a healthy alternative to McDonalds or KFC. You look at the menu, though, and it consists of organic acai berries, quinoa, antioxidant-rich kale smoothies and the like. They've hyper-optimised their brand's goal/mission to the point where the product is unapproachable and unaffordable for most consumers.

All we want is chicken and rice, but our choice is between a double bacon cheeseburger or an overpriced organic bliss bowl.

If you ever fly to (the US via) SFO, perhaps check out Amy's at terminal 1B:

(Technically I think you cannot/should not drive through the airport location.)


I don't see chicken on the menu, but it does offer things you could consider an actual meal, and definitely better than just acai berries.


Yeah, it doesn't seem super healthy, but seems genuinely really tasty.

If I was on holidays in the US, I don't think I'd be looking for healthier options as much as I'd want BBQ sauce, ribs and burgers.
