A blueprint demonstrating results for other schools to follow is the only way to create change, this concepts gives us hope for healthier humans in the future. Thank you!
In the picture with the young kids in the garden, one kid is filling up a watering can from a blue barrel that does not have a spigot. The water stream is originating out of thin air. Are these gardens even real or AI generated?
This is such an exciting venture! I pray it is successful. I have grandchildren now and worry so much about the foods they are exposed to as well as the insane number of vaccines they are required to receive. They deserve so much better. Best of luck!!!
Catherine, I have mixed feelings about this school program. Having skilled chefs cooking is great, but these kids are never going to be able to sustain healthy eating habits unless we reinstate Home Ec classes. I would have been thrilled to see these kids working to prepare meals with the chefs, planning the meals, buying ingredients for the meals. MAHA needs to address this with the public schools. We all know Laozi's saying: give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, but if you teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Time to make it policy.
Home ec in conjunction w PROPER NUTRITION should be taught in all schools INCLUDING MEDICAL SCHOOL! This should also include how foods are grown and manufactured.
We are taught the biochemistry and physiology of nutrition in medical school. Vitamin, nutrient, protein deficiencies; vitamin/mineral overdoses; nutrient absorption problems, etc. Doctors also get help from Registered Dietitians who are the true experts in nutrition (not nutritionists, anyone can call themself a nutritionist).
What you should actually want is more access Registered Dietitians and more funding for nutrition research, unlike RFK's cuts to nutrition research funding.
OK. Doctors need more help than just Registered Dieticians. Especially the young ones. I learned early on that I had to educate myself after some serious iatrogenic 'illnesses'. If I could educate myself than so can they. Schools teach you how to pass tests the rest is practical experience. They all need to lose their bad, egotistical attitude.
I hear you, Sonia, but if there's going to be a step it would be better to reinstate mandatory Home Ec than just having one good meal. While school lunches account for a lot, if the kid is pre diabetic and eats a low glycemic, non processed lunch, then goes home to parents who don't cook and pop a pre made dinner in the microwave and serve it with several cans of soft drinks, that can undo all the good at school. I'm amazed at how few adults cook at all.
I believe a multi-prong approach is needed. This is why the school will blend a healthy eating program, with organic culinary arts, organic agriscience, wellness newsletters for families, and some nutrition education classes.
Can a Revolutionary School Lunch Program in a Small Florida Town Change the Way Children Eat Across America?
Yes, it can and will, but it requires a lot of background knowledge. My long life experiences prove it beyond a doubt. A small example: Food grown within one mile of a golf course cannot be considered as "organically grown."
The elementary gardens are within a mile. The jr/sr organic farm is almost 3 miles. The golf course has not be utilized as a golf course for around 10 years.
Small scale home gardens, or ones like this school may not. Every piece of produce labeled "organic" in a grocery store was grown with the help of "organic" pesticides.
The garden component is really the hook - kids who grow food are way more likley to eat it. The measurable tracking (blood sugar, grades, behavior) shifts this from nutrition philosophy into hard policy data that skeptics can't dimiss. I've seen farm-to-school pilots struggle once grant funding runs out tho. Scalability past the pilot phase is always the toughest hurdle for these programms.
The school is committed and along with organic agriculture/agriscience is planning for its organic culinary arts programs. It also has nutrition education and wellness newsletters. We have already been doing farm to table from the schools own organic farm, and a few local growers for years now.
Constance, thank you for your reply. I think you might want to tweak this post so it includes what you say here. This was not clear to me before I read your reply. Now I think you are absolutely on target!
Here in our ag county near the California state capital of Sacramento, we have many organic farms. The local schools often serve organic produce.
Here's a proposal to further upgrade school meals so that ALL the ingredients are organic because stats from Moms Across America show excessive toxins in school food.
Pesticide and herbicide residues in food aren't easily eliminated from the body but are often stored in body fat, hence it would be wise for the milk, eggs, cheese, and meat in school breakfast and lunch to also be organic.
Furthermore, baked goods are often made with wheat that’s been sprayed with Roundup (glyphosate) a week before harvest to dry it out, and there’s plenty of evidence of the toxicity of this “safe” herbicide.
For all these reasons, we need to feed our children organic food!
Our students also need the long-chain omega-3s (DHA, EPA), which are now scarce in the American diet, as are vitamins and minerals.
The proposal describes what can be done about these deficiencies:
Hi Lauren, I am an educator and I have proposed going all organic to a school district in L.A. starting in 2019 due to the lawsuits surrounding Roundup, one of which RFK Jr. won. I would share with you the video clip, but YouTube eliminated my 5-year account in 2021 when I forewarned people about the covid shot. In addition, I addressed it in a bulletin, which went out to 7,000 educators at the NEA Annual Meeting in 2024. What I did get passed, was for legislation to be lobbied for the federal "Farm to School Program." I am now working on getting publicity amongst educators on a state level, in California, with the state teachers' union, as no new federal grants are being issued. I do see dairy and meat as violations towards other beings, though. I personally take https://amandean.com/collections/vegan/products/vegan-omega-3 for DHA and EPA. Here is the Farm to School program if you would like to share with your local school district, in case they have yet to implement it: https://cdfa.ca.gov/caf2sgrant.
If you have a chance to call me, it would be great to talk about progress on all organic meals in schools! My phone is 530 7nueve6-246threee.
You probably know that a small school district in Marin County, which happens to be in a relatively low income area, has been providing al organic meals for 12 years!!
I am aware of the school. I was outside it in August 2019 on a return drive from NoCal. I let the district cafeteria manager know about it. I had a conference call with him and a rep from "Organic Consumers Association" on Skype. I pulled over. In the end, the district café manager said it would be too expensive. We were supposed to have a follow-up meeting, but it was brushed aside, then "con"vid happened, and the district did many "non-organic" things. I'm a guest teacher, not even a contracted one. I cared enough, so I spoke out. I gained volunteer positions within the teachers unions to combat the covid injection, mainly. While I had the opportunity, I created proposals on other important issues. When I had the "Farm to School program" pass in the national union, my initial idea of only organic produce was removed because not all local farms would be able to certify. I was still glad, because some local farms are organic, even if not certified. This was the language, as found here: https://nea.org/about-nea/governance-policies/nea-legislative-program: "supports a sustainable farm to school program as a means of improving student nutrition, supporting local food producers, and providing other health, economical, and environmental benefits"
This sounds very promising! I'd like to hear about an approach to parents to gain their understanding and support of this initiative. Perhaps, at the end of this trial phase a mapping of impact on families food practices.
OFF TOPIC:
Read the EPA banned entry of a pesticide shipment. Encouraging sign the EPA is moving toward MAHA support. Maybe take note and register appreciation?
I think it is impossible to live up to vegan standards. I don’t see any way out of the cycle of life that Nature evolved, which requires both lions and antelope. This cycle is epitomized by regenerative farming (such as Joel Salatin et al have demonstrated) and by nature conservancy (as practiced by Allan Savory et al), which requires both grazers and their predators to be in balance.
Neither antelope nor cows fear death the way we do. Yet vegans seem to project our human capacity for anticipation onto all the other animals in our subphylum (vertebrates). To paraphrase Joel Salatin, ‘The animals on our farm have a beautiful life and one bad day.’ (Actually, it’s one bad instant.)
My main objection to veganism is that there is no way for humans to get certain essential nutrients only from plant sources, such as B12, sufficient fat-based vitamins (A, D, MK-4), long-chain omega-3s (DHA and EPA), and butyrate.
The reality of life as we know it is that death is unavoidable even to vegans. A vegan friend of mine couldn’t resolve the dilemma that her beloved feline pets could not live on a vegan diet, which is also a conflict for dogs loved by vegans.
As an extreme example of taking one’s ideals to an impossible extreme, a vegan suggested building a fence dividing Africa in half—the grazing animals would be on one side, the predators on the other.
As I witness when I visit local organic farms to buy food, respect for animals and their welfare is orders of magnitude higher on organic farms than is likely on farms rearing livestock in conventional feed-lots. In other words, the real goal in food production is to care for livestock humanely when they’re alive so that their contribution of good nutrition to us is both high quality and ethical.
The Wheel of Life on Earth is based on 3 essential categories:
● Producers: use sunlight and photosynthesis to form food that is the basis of all food chains
● Consumers: must eat other organisms (either producers or other consumers) to survive
● Decomposers: return nutrients from dead animals and plants to the countless wheels of life throughout nature.
Death is unavoidably part of that vast cycle. Care of our earth, and gratitude for our sustenance, are fundamental to human consciousness.
Yes, yes. YES! Children deserve to be provided with the knowledge needed to understand good health & the opportunity to build a solid foundation of healthy habits! I am so grateful I am alive and reading this! 💗🌱
This is a great step in the right direction. What we need next is a similar school that feeds the kids the same food but also accepts only totally unvaccinated kids to compare outcomes to the students at this school.
From scratch meals were served in my school when I was growing up. They were served in the cafeterias at the schools where my kids grew up. It all started to change when they started using one cafeteria in a district and carting the food to all the schools in the district. Then they started bringing in prepared food for ‘cooks’ to warm up. Now there’s the added responsibility of feeding students breakfast. All this to be done in a few minutes in the morning and half an hour at lunch. Most of the food goes in the garbage as the kids would rather go to recess than eat. At least in the school district where I live now that is the case.
Vegan diets had much better health outcomes than standard diets before vegan food became ultra processed. This is coming from a steak-loving person who just likes the truth.
The vegan "process?" Unfortunately, there are too many people, who will make excuses for animal torture for the plate and cup. Most people eat fruits and vegetables. Organic farms for the most part are cautious, as are in home gardens. Dairy is a sexual violation, and non-consensually reproducing animals. As the saying goes, "Dairy is Scary:" https://youtube.com/watch?v=UcN7SGGoCNI.
https://vbriefings.org/kill says: "The “crop deaths” objection is part of a broader pattern of attempts to dismiss veganism...while ignoring the far greater harms in animal-based systems." "...they distract from the urgent reality: billions of sentient animals are intentionally bred, exploited, and slaughtered each year...""When animals are raised for human food, not only are those animals slaughtered, but even more animals are lost...because farmed animals eat larger quantities of crops."
My wife is vegan and is CONSTANTLY hungry yet can't keep the weight off because so much of the vegan meat and cheese substitutes are so processed and heavy on the yeast as a flavoring and starchy additives. They smell bizarre when they're cooking. She constantly snacks on chips of various sorts made from grains, pea protein and soy. Their mass is very low therefore are not filling and produce a glycemic response when eaten.
It sounds as if she's not eating fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes in their whole, natural state, because I myself do not experience what you have listed. Please tell her to give up the processed products. You may wish to reach out to "The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)" https://pcrm.org/good-nutrition/plant-based-diets for guidance.
Monique, Hello, as the Founder of the school, we will make certain always that we are serving all of our families, including those that are vegan and vegetarian.
Wonderful. How about the animal families? Will you kindly respect them by removing them from plates? If this school can do it, yours can too: https://MuseGlobalSchoolCA.com. It's time to progress to no ki!!ing and no r@pe. It's unfair to the children, too.
She eats lots of that in their natural state (So do I!). She's missing animal protein (except cartilage tablets for her bad knees. That stuff works!) in her diet. Veganism only works for a small fraction of the population.
Hmmm. Not that I'm aware of. Seems like you're intent in having animals slaughtered and r@ped for your palette. You started out with saying "processed," and now you're saying something different. Are you earning $17 an hour to put down anyone, who eats clean? Protein is protein, so at this point, I am well aware your comment about people eating from plants as working for only a small fraction of the population is not based in truth. It's based on your prejudice. I'm sorry, you sound angry and misguided. It's a Biblical way of eating. Seventh Day Adventists are some of the longest living people in the U.S. Loma Linda, CA is a Blue Zone, where many of them reside. If you would like further info, I can pass it along; otherwise, let's end the convo, because it appears you may have an agenda, and my time and knowledge is too valuable for it to be captured for wrong reasons.
It's California state law in hospitals and prisons that they have to, but not schools: https://foodservicedirector.com/hospital-healthcare/calif-passes-vegan-meal-requirement-for-hospitals-prisons. I seek a world in which animals will no longer be tortured. I wish others would make the connection, but they have to be the ones to make the change. When one sees mother cows running after their calves being hauled away, I ask that humans reflect on how they would feel. Thanks.

I am the Founder of the school. I can assure you the gardens are real. If you blow up the pic a bit, you will see a black spigot.
This is such an exciting venture! I pray it is successful. I have grandchildren now and worry so much about the foods they are exposed to as well as the insane number of vaccines they are required to receive. They deserve so much better. Best of luck!!!

Who better to help with nutrition than a registered dietitian?

They most certainly can. A harsh and unfounded generalization.
Why not? Organic crops use pesticides too. They generally use larger doses of more toxic pesticides more frequently than conventional farming.
Bullshit
Who told you that? You should find them and beat some truth into them.
Small scale home gardens, or ones like this school may not. Every piece of produce labeled "organic" in a grocery store was grown with the help of "organic" pesticides.
BTW...I farm a bit over 1200 acres. ALL CERTIFIED ORGANIC.
Simply NOT true. I've used a toxic organic pesticide ONCE in over 40 years of organic farming.
The garden component is really the hook - kids who grow food are way more likley to eat it. The measurable tracking (blood sugar, grades, behavior) shifts this from nutrition philosophy into hard policy data that skeptics can't dimiss. I've seen farm-to-school pilots struggle once grant funding runs out tho. Scalability past the pilot phase is always the toughest hurdle for these programms.

Obviously, you know this. ..I want to stress the importance of the professional expertise of the Managing grower.

You might want to check out how many animals are annihilated in the vegetarian/vegan process.
Agree…vegans are religious zealots about making everyone adhere to their ill advised knowledge. Go ahead and be vegan but don’t push it on others.
Vegan diets had much better health outcomes than standard diets before vegan food became ultra processed. This is coming from a steak-loving person who just likes the truth.
25 years is not ill-advised. I suggest you seek anger management.

My animals are spoiled beyond your comprehension. Organic is just the start. You can't generalize.
BTW. You can't have healthy soil without animals.
Generalize about what, please? Dairy is r@pe. Slaughter is inhumane.
It's the agribusiness model NOT the agriculture one.
Do you consume them? If so, this is not love, nor spoiling.
