Childhood Obesity Courtesy Of US Govt: Murdering Children Slowly
"Childhood Obesity -Courtesy Of The US Govt."
I've spent my Saturday morning, organizing videos and books and decidedto pop in and re-watch the documentary, "Killer At Large." If you want help with motivation for helping children and getting them healthy so they can make it through life with all the ppportunities available to them, you should watch this movie. School System and Childhood Obesity
The public school system is intimately tied to the dietary habits developed by children. The schools will only serve foods that will be reimbursed by the government. The government agency that determines what is reimbursable is the USDA. USDA Reimbursing Poisonous Food
Let's take a look at what is and what is not reimbursable in the eyes of the USDA. Chicken nuggets, tater tots, chocolate milk (which has more sugar than a can of soft drink), canned fruit cocktail sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. All reimbursable. Tater tots and fries are counted as a vegetable. Chocolate milk or strawberry milk which has more sugar than the same amount of soda, is counted as a dairy serving. 70 percent of the lunches are pizza. USDA - Minimum Calorie Requirement
The USDA mandates a minimum calorie count but has not upward limit. The minimum limit of calories is 750 calories for lunch. If you serve one bowl of fresh vegetables, one bowl of fruits, a tuna sandwich, a small 8 oz bottle of milk, and with no refined sugars you cannot make the calorie count. More For Prisoners Less For Children
Take a look at USDA budget allocations... The USDA spends $7 billion to feed 30 million children lunch in schools. In the state of California alone, $9 billion is allocated for the prison system in California. More money is spent on prisoners in one state than the lunch of children in the whole country. Childhood Obesity Is Not A Mystery
This is insanity. These kids simply do not have a chance. There is no question that there is an inability to concentrate when you are poisoned. I hope this provides some perspective on whether making a healthier change in food choices is just uncomfortable or a burning need. Childhood obesity is not a mystery in the least. I encourage you to get this movie and watch it. Here is a link to the movie website. http://www.killeratlarge.com Watch the trailer. It's good. Buy the video to support it.
