If you didn't see Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution this past Tuesday, you missed seeing the deplorable stuff (I hesitate to even call it food) that the Los Angeles School Districts are serving America's kids. So many things wrong with it - utterly and completely processed refined white flour items, loaded with sugar and packaged in plastic (they don't even have cooks anymore - they just pop the plastic-wrapped stuff in the microwave and serve it up). So besides completely lacking in nutrition, they are also poisoning the kids with the toxins that are leaching out of the plastics as they are heated. Creating an even bigger potential mess for our health care system - and our environment (when all that garbage is disposed of)
The other interesting thing was that Jamie, who is an accomplished international chef and healthy foods advocate, offered the LAUSD his help in creating healthier food menus for their kids. They looked at him as if he were a criminal, and refused to let him enter a single school. What are they trying to hide?!
Is this happening all around the country? I don't know. I hope not. Jamie Oliver will be continuing his journey next Tuesday (April 19). Be sure to check it out.
Then join
the Food Revolution in your area and get involved. Our kids are America's future. If all they're eating is garbage, what kind of future do they - and our precious America - have?
