Comments on: School Breakfast Initiatives First Please! http://www.freshthemovie.com/2009/12/28/school-breakfast/ New thinking on what we're eating Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:25:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Joanne Katzen-Jones http://www.freshthemovie.com/2009/12/28/school-breakfast/comment-page-1/#comment-1033 Joanne Katzen-Jones Sun, 13 Jun 2010 18:28:31 +0000 http://www.freshthemovie.com/?p=1322#comment-1033 I was glad to see that you added the following: " . . . children are still coming to school hungry! And they don’t necessarily come from impoverished families." If you want people to advocate for school breakfast programs, especially when taxes are already in the "painfull" zone and school programs are being cut right and left, then you are going to have to convince regular working folk that feeding their children in the morning is important. And I don't mean a stop at the Dunkin Doughnut drive through and I don't mean sugary dayglow cereal. I have a four year old who currently carries the nick name "mary mary quite contrary" when it comes to what she will eat on any given day - being creative and nutritious is not easy - who said parenting was easy?? We need to stop treating our children like garbage disposals and we need to make the family food budget a priority above designer jeans, the latest greatest sneaker and video games. Then you will see NUTRITIOUS school breakfasts for kids who need it. You go Cuz! I was glad to see that you added the following:

Many school children come to school "full" on processed bulk - still starving for vital nutrients! It would suit all educators well to design a hands-on food preparation area to insure all children are well-fed and nourished before entering the classroom.

America. Please wake up and listen. This is truly break-through research that is foundational to our children's future. Can we throw away the boxed breakfast cereal laden with sugars and chemicals and start feeding our children 'Real' food. Can we destroy the food manufacturers who care only about 'profit' and not about the health of the customer. FINALLY !! America. Please wake up and listen.
