After watching Jamie Oliver in a small American school the other night,i cannot believe what is happening there. One kid didnt even know what a tomato
was,at 10yo!
A mate went over last year,he loved his trip there,but said the food is crap,everything is in a burger bun,finding decent food they had to search
for.
The size of everything is also CRAZY,you dont need such big helpings of fat and soda.
My children are lucky if they get take out once a year from any commercial food outlet,our remote residence helps with this.
Take out for us is the local fish and chip shop,and the burgers,steak,chicken are all hormone and antibiotic free,supplied by our local butcher,where
we buy our meat.
Our vegies come from all around local and home grown,we barter and swap a lot,eggs come from our free range chickens.
We buy milk,but i also get as much as i want from the dairy.
Sure healthy eating may cost you an extra $20-30 bucks a week buying it all from the shop,but iam sure the health of you and your family is worth
it.
The use of corn syrup in all your food is a conspiracy in itself,it is not needed,except maybe for the odd recipe that calls for it.I was perplexed
at this when i found out a few years back.
And then you have these large fast fat outlets with a massive campaign to target your children,these campaigns can be quite sneaky to outright in your
face.
Vegie gardens for all your schools America,we do it here,they grow the vegies then get to cook them,what a YUMMY way to learn,and thats what its all
about,Education.
