I first became politically radicalized when I served (or tried to serve) on the Wellness Committee in my local school district in Amenia NY to improve the school lunches. This was in 2011 or so. I found that the existing regulations tended to make the school lunches less healthy. The kids were required to take a milk for the school to get reimbursed for the lunch, so they gave sugared milk. They were required to give the kids fruit, so they put sugar in the fruit cups. The kids had to take a bread item. The meal most frequently served meal was cheese pizza and fruit cup or yam-flavored pancakes with syrup--FOR LUNCH--because it satisfied the requirements. Whenever rules are made to control people and "points" are given for satisfying the rules, people game the system. It was impossible under this system to suggest making stew for lunch, which is probably the healthiest, easiest, and cheapest meal to make. I wrote a satirical novel about this experience called Locus Amoenus.
Yes, the milk in NYC schools was all low-fat and included chocolate with added sugar. When cookies were occasionally included, they were handed out the same time as the meal. What kid is going to eat his meal when he can eat a cookie? Lots of meals went in the trash on those days.
Yep! Belly fillers are the most profitable. Looks good! Tastes Good and has NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE! George Keller, many years ago who was the President of Keebler cookie company bragged to me about the fact they made the BEST belly fillers. Bottom line in food and medicine trump good health outcomes!
If you’re going to demand certified organic foods (as opposed to pesticide free), you really first need to clean up the organic movement which is itself full of fraud and corruption. Many of the things labeled organic simply are not.
That’s true. However the organic market was far more ethical before the George W Bush administration allowed the designation to be polluted by ‘big Ag.’ The Obama administration wasn’t any better.
good luck getting glyphosate out of school lunches.... ALL WHEAT is sprayed with it, including organic.... there is not one wheat product available that doesnt contain glyphosate! Help our whole country... adults too! from glyphosate! School lunches are reflective of our entire diets... clean it up at the source so schools, businesses, stores, restaurants and kitchens can be the place of nutrition.
Excellent article Kennedy Beacon. Thanks so much for sharing. Maria, I have been learning similar facts!
In case others are interested I would like to share what I have been studying over the last two years as a result of multiple autoimmune diagnoses.
▪︎ European flour allegedly has no glyphosate. I can tell you that when I eat products made in Italy I do not get sick. No allergic rash, autoimmune, etc.
But did EU farms EVER use glyphosate?
▪︎ My research of published data indicates it can take up to 40 years for soil to become free of glyphosate. Do other readers agree with this? This information has left me feeling very deflated, so for now I search out Italian-grown wheat products for when I need a wheat fix.
▪︎ An interesting note is that organic manufacturers have told me that in order to qualify as organic, a soil must not have had glyphosate applied within the last THREE YEARS.
Am I the only person whose brain is spinning?
I would love to hear other readers' informed opinions. Thanks.
the problem seems to be that they use glyphosate on even organic wheat crops in order to 'desicate' them.. dry them more quickly to harvest sooner and squeeze in extra harvests.. I also heard the three year rule.. but now?
We need a Brainchild to come up with a nontoxic way to remove Glyphosate from soils faster than 40 years. The New BillionaIres will be the young people that figure that out.
In my school district, guess who supplies a lot of the food? General Mills and Kellogs. THE BIG FOOD companies that are and have been putting crap in our food for years. AND it is free advertising for the companies to get kids hooked on their product. The waste and poor nutrition is outrageous. Pretty sure the district I am in is not the only one that buys food from those sources. Not a piece of fresh fruit for breakfast in sight.
We must as parents, use our most common intrinsic instincts to protect this nation’s most precious resource: our children. I’d like to see the Trump administration demand every school receiving federal funding mandate a ‘nutritional data analysis announcement.’ This would require the principal during morning announcements, to state the ingredient list of each item from the day’s menu including the percentage of heavy metals and levels of GMO crops, glyphosate etc., supplied by HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. Following the ‘nutrition report’ the teacher would have a discussion period with students to review the information. The principal or teacher, would be required to state which of the ingredients are ‘not allowed’ in other developed countries. In addition, the names and contact details of all corporate entities associated with the district must be disclosed to the public. The schools would be required to hand out a copy of this information via student, to be reviewed and submit any comments to the administration, before signed and returned to their child’s school.
Our children attend school to be EDUCATED: why should they be deprived of knowledge about the “food” they’re being expected to consume, which critically impacts their long term health and wellbeing? Mr Kennedy’s entire platform is based around complete transparency to the American public, which in and of itself is groundbreaking. I suspect that after a semester or two of bringing this information into the daily public consciousness, would cultivate massive public outcry for swift change, to get poisons out of the lives of our innocent children. This would also bring about greater awareness to the general population, regarding what is “real food as opposed to a potentially harmful eatable food like item.” This program will also serve to rebuild the lost trust to this area of government, which we all desire to have, and force EPA, FDA, Department of Agriculture to remove themselves from corrupting influence of associating industries, we know Mr Kennedy is dedicated to accomplishing.
Perhaps most significantly, the American people will have no rational reason to make this an issue for division. With the citizenry overwhelmingly engaged toward protecting our children, the ‘food like substance industry’ will have a very challenging dilemma toward preventing implementation, by relying on their lobbyists as no plausible, ethical justification can exist. From this collective action, Americans will also realize the enormous power which remains ours to bring powerful, meaningful reform to EVERY aspect of “our government.”
What our children are provided to eat while at school is certainly important. Unfortunately, there are other other massive factors that negate the success of this one goal. Let me be honest & blunt.
1 - IMMEDIATELY STOP SPRAYING OUR CHILDREN LIKE BUGS! THIS AFFECTS EVERY LIVING ORGANISM ON GOD'S PLANET. (IT'S VERY OBVIOUS TO DISCERN WHO THE ENEMY IS WHEN WE CONTINUE TO LOOK UP & SEE OUR ENEMY'S SIGNATURE IN THE SKY.
2 - BAN ALL mRNA VACCINES & VACCINE MANDATES (INCLUDING THE VACCINATION OF LIVESTOCK & ANY FOOD SOURCES LIKE VEGETABLES AND FRUITS) THIS ALSO AFFECTS EVERY LIVING ORGANISM ON THIS PLANET WHICH INCLUDES OUR CHILDREN)
3 - IMMEDIATELY STOP ALL GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH ON GOD'S PLANET.
4 - IN CLOSING, GOD ALWAYS WINS
Revelation 11:14-19 KJV
[14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. [15] And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. [16] And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, [17] saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. [18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. [19] And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Improving the quality of school lunches is great. However, isn't it better for as many kids as possible to eat lunches prepared at their homes? I know that it isn't always possible for parents to provide for their children, but that isn't that what we should be advocating? My experience with school lunch programs as an educator was that they undermined parents' attempts to provide nutritious wholesome lunches (and BREAKFASTS) for their children.
There is a school in Florida - very advanced thinking for ways of teaching - they bought a farm and all of the kids work on the farm - learning to grow food, which they eat for their lunches... it seems like a great idea! First saw this on thehighwire.com a couple of years ago. I believe now they have 5 schools, the demand was so great!
Out of the 30 million children are most of them vaccinated? Even if food is “pure” and glyphosate free are they not already compromised? How do you like the CDC pick? Kennedy is on a slow roll, WHY? Dr Paul Thomas, Oregon, medical license pulled, goes all the way the the Supreme Court…..just to ask permission to be heard. No is the answer.
Will Kennedy give these doctors a voice? Where is the freedom to speak? Mothers are muzzled. He knows this.

It seems that agencies like the FDA, the CDC and the US Department of Agriculture are complicit and exposing children to the worst toxins imaginable.
Absolutely. Each a captured federal agency of the industries they were created to regulate.

That’s true. However the organic market was far more ethical before the George W Bush administration allowed the designation to be polluted by ‘big Ag.’ The Obama administration wasn’t any better.
Regardless of who is responsible, it still needs to be cleaned up. Until then, pushing people to buy organic is nonsense.
