Real Food
A course of study at every grade level for children to learn about real food - what it is, where it is from, how it is grown, the benefits to body, mind, spirit. Learning the difference between manufactured, processed food and how these can compromise and even harm the body. Learning to read labels. At each grade level, teachers would have an age appropriate syllabus where the children can participate in field trips, going to local markets, farms, participate in planting, learn about permaculture, urban gardening if they live in a big city. Prep and cooking classes would taught. Healthy food that nourishes the body and brain encourages healthy growth and development, inspires love of learning, brings families/friends together. Parent/ Family participation would be incorporated.

My fellow classmate joke by saying that milk comes from a carton, or pudding comes from the supermarket, that meat is from the local fast food restaurant. A previous reply stated that it would lead to deeper conflict and would have to be approached gently. I eat meat, but only that of which I know has been treated humanely. It disgusts me that everyday there are cows and pigs stuffed into stalls and fed till they nearly explode and then they're killed to be mashed up and ... I hate the whole process. And if people actually thought about it, I think they would as well. Food in America is much more different than food in different countries. While it is more abundant, the whole system is much less transparent. Let me finish this idea first though, before I continue. McDonald's was holding their chicken's in small cages where they could barely move and they got in deep trouble for it... GMOs. No more chemical spray or herbicides or pesticides. Again, as a previous commentator said, there are HUGE doses of chemicals being found on apples and oranges, among other things. I want to stop playing God, and I want there to be more transparency on GMOs. Monsanto scientists will not eat anything but organic foods in their own cafeterias. What does that tell you? There is so much more that I think needs to be said but that I do not have enough time to type. I will become an activist and I will fight this. I agree full heartedly in what you are saying and will strive to encourage this information to be inputed into our schools.
