There aren’t many topics in the realm of food, cooking and nutrition that are as hot right now as that of organic foods. While some might think that organic food is an adult interest, the truth is that feeding babies and children organically grown food is absolutely vital for the health of a growing young brain and body.

At a fantastic cocktail party and reception hosted by Colicchio and Sons Restaurant (owned by celebrity Chef and Top Chef judge and host, Tom Colicchio) I was introduced to the excellent work of Happy Family Organic Foods and the company’s dynamic founder and CEO Shazi Visram. Visram is perhaps best known for creating HappyBaby, the first premium baby brand to enter the market in five small stores in New York City. Today, it is the leading premium brand of baby and toddler meals in the US – sold in over 13,000 stores and featuring nine different lines of delicious, organic foods focused on the optimal nutrition of infants and children.

To that end, she has created Happy TV, an engaging online webseries that debuted just last week. Visram offers that she “created Happy TV to showcase and share insights from the innovators and thought leaders behind the brands that are making mindful choices to support the health of local communities and the planet.” After the cocktail party, we were invited to participate in the filming of a segment of Happy TV, which was very fun. In a relaxed conversational setting, Shazi and Tom discussed a variety of nutrition-related topics including hunger in America, school lunch programs, cooking with a farm to table approach and the importance of feeding children organic food.

Shazi and Tom answered questions from the intimate audience and Colicchio also spoke about his wife, filmmaker Lori Silverbush’s new documentary, A Place At The Table (formerly entitled Finding North). That is a film I definitely want to see when it shows in New York.
