"Be Worried. Be Very Worried. Climate change isn’t some vague future problem—it’s already damaging the planet at an alarming pace. " "After listening to your presentation, I am convinced that a Healthy Lunch Program is imperative if we expect our children to make good choices about their food intake, and ultimately their health." |
Let’s offer young people more organically grown |
|
| The animal and chemical agriculture industries, through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), supply enormous volumes of chemical/animal-based foods to children in schools. The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is the United States’ largest governmental feeding program. The manner in which our children view food, how their eating habits develop, their health and the condition of the land they will inherit are directly linked to the NSLP.
Teaching students, educators, parents and food personnel to ask for, offer and consume more plant foods in schools will help to initiate a positive shift in our government’s largest feeding program. The possibilities for beneficial change are monumental! We can positively affect our health and the environment by changing our diet to include more whole, organically grown plant foods and fewer chemically processed animal foods. By teaching these simple solutions to our children, we can protect them from many diseases and preserve some of their dwindling natural resources. Youth are the key to the future and therefore must play a major role in its creation. It has been proven generation after generation that when young people understand the depth of a situation and what they can do to help, they become enthusiastic and get involved.
