Re: Loss and Rebirth-the value of a healthy school lunch program
Can someone give a citation for this article? I am a teacher and would like to include it in my thesis research. Thanks! A MIRACLE IN WISCONSIN - Attributed to Good Food! OCTOBER 14. In Appleton, Wisconsin, a revolution has occurred. It's taken place in the Central Alternative High School. The kids now behave. The hallways aren't frantic. Even the teachers are happy. The school used to be out of control. Kids packed weapons. Discipline problems swamped the principal's office. But not since 1997. What happened? Did they line every inch of space with cops? Did they spray valium gas in the classrooms? Did they install metal detectors in the bathrooms? Did they build holding cells in the gym? Afraid not. In 1997, a private group called Natural Ovens began installing a healthy lunch program. Huh? Fast-food burgers, fries, and burritos gave way to fresh salads, meats prepared with old-fashioned recipes, and whole grain bread. Fresh fruits were added to the menu. Good drinking water arrived. Vending machines were removed. As reported in a newsletter called Pure Facts, Grades are up, truancy is no longer a problem, arguments are rare, and teachers are able to spend their time teaching. Principal Lu Ann Coenen, who files annual reports with the state of Wisconsin, has turned in some staggering figures since 1997. Drop-outs? Students expelled? Students discovered to be using drugs? Carrying weapons? Committing suicide? Every category has come up ZERO. Every year. Mary Bruyette, a teacher, states, I don't have to deal with daily discipline issues. I don't have disruptions in class or the difficulties with student behavior I experienced before we started the food program. One student asserted, Now that I can concentrate I think it's easier to get along with people. What a concept---eating healthier food increases concentration. Principal Coenen sums it up: I can't buy the argument that it's too costly for schools to provide good nutrition for their students. I found that one cost will reduce another. I don't have the vandalism. I don't have the litter. I don't have the need for high security. At a nearby middle school, the new food program is catching on. A teacher there, Dennis Abram, reports, I've taught here almost 30 years. I see the kids this year as calmer, easier to talk to. They just seem more rational. I had thought about retiring this year and basically I've decided to teach another year---I'm having too much fun! Pure Facts, the newsletter that ran this story, is published by a non-profit organization called The Feingold Association, which has existed since 1976. Part of its mission is to generate public awareness of the potential role of foods and synthetic additives in behavior, learning and health problems. The [Feingold] program is based on a diet eliminating synthetic colors, synthetic flavors, and the preservatives BHA, BHT, and TBHQ. Thirty years ago there was a Dr. Feingold. His breakthrough work proved the connection between these negative factors in food and the lives of children. Hailed as a revolutionary advance, Feingold's findings were soon trashed by the medical cartel, since those findings threatened the drugs-for-everything, disease-model concept of modern health care. But Feingold's followers have kept his work alive. If what happened in Appleton, Wisconsin, takes hold in many other communities across America, perhaps the ravenous corporations who invade school space with their vending machines and junk food will be tossed out on their behinds. It could happen. And perhaps ADHD will become a dinosaur. A non-disease that was once attributed to errant brain chemistry. And perhaps Ritalin will be seen as just another toxic chemical that was added to the bodies of kids in a crazed attempt to put a lid on behavior that, in part, was the result of a subversion of the food supply. For those readers who ask me about solutions to the problems we face---here is a real solution. Help these groups. Get involved. Step into the fray. Stand up and be counted. The drug companies aren't going to do it. They're busy estimating the size of their potential markets. They're building their chemical pipelines into the minds and bodies of the young. Every great revolution starts with a foothold. Sounds like Natural Ovensand The Feingold Association have made strong cuts into the big rock of ignorance and greed. Robin Duchesneau wrote: Hugh, Wow!

Re: RE Loss and Rebirth 9/11
Hate to burst everyone's conspiracy bubble, but Q33NY isn't a flight number...(let alone the flight number of one of the tower planes). The internet is a great way to spread information (and dis- and mis- information too). Check out www.snopes.com It's a great site to check out the 'urban legends' becoming so prominant in today's cyber-society. click on the 9/11 rumours link and scroll down to 'wingding' link. Sure is some good reading on some of the other links too. Co-incidence? no such thing. But when you start with the truth and draw the lines usually truth is the result. Here in America there is a conspiracy hiding under every bed...(the commies left in the mid-80's). And yeah, sure, there was ice build up on the wings of Senator Wellstone's plane. Keep the faith, (but check your sources) Ed PS haven't seen any refrence to molten steel on the snopes website, so Cheryl - It IS really freaky.

Re: Loss and Rebirth
Hugh, Wow! That's quite the US military history lesson. If all U.S. citizens were better informed of their world doings things would certainly be different. But, this is not the case... and the U.S. media industry should be pointed out as wrong doing too. Not only politicians. Recently, I came to the conclusion that U.S.A is going through an idiot phase. (...I hope I don't offend any one here as I'm referring more about the social collective, rather then individuals / more or less ...although that can also be insulting). I'm not saying that other countries are perfect either. Let me explain. Seems to me that TV or Cinema shows have gone from wholesome entertainment (good family values with a moral lesson in the end) to promoting idiocy as being COOL and IN. Think of what's become fashionable in the States. Movies like Dumb and Dumber, Freddy got Fingered, and Jackass are popping up everywhere. Gosh, US TV entertainment is even worst. Watching TV is almost enough to make me sick. Ally Mc.Beal? Have you seen this show? Adult children running around a law firm acting like pure imbeciles. This show is typical of today's Hollywood. Or, if not idiot shows, then propaganda and conspiracy. Things like West Wing (showing the US president as a hero), or The X-Files (showing government conspiracy everywhere). Enough of that. I should also mention that USA has it's share of good doers. Not everyone is an idiot. It just seems like IDIOCY is COOL in the USA. That's all. I hope I haven't offended my southern neighbors too much. If so, then go ahead and have a whack at us Canadians, or me. he he he Robin - Original Message - From: Hugh Lovel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Ginger Kogelschatz [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Joe Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Marvin and Mary Parrott [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Ryan Cohen [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Cimino Farm [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Kathy Radford [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fran Moorehead [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Iris Mead [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mary Denton [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Skip Glover [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Andrew Stocklinski [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Janet Hodges [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Larry Conklin [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Nicholas Donck [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Michael Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Walker Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Neil,Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Margaret Putnam and Cynthia Hizer [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Bernadette Goldstein [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Andrew Goldstein [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Nan Marie Jokerst [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Ian Clarke [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; cornelia_cho@atlmu g.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: October 29, 2002 6:52 PM Subject: Re: Loss and Rebirth Dear Robin, There's more to it than you might think.

Why then is it so hard for people of influence to see this? I know , money and power, but my god, how much money and power will it take to satisfy these lunatics!! Its for sure the men who start this war will not be in the frontline nor will any of their family. Our brown nosed little Aussie prime minister is at least as dedicated to being a part of it as Bush and Blair! Anyway thanks for an excellent post, it might be a wake up call to someone! Lloyd Charles -just some snippetts to remind us again- and of course mostly it had to do with oil and money at the expense of such things as human rights, cultural improvement and democracy. Make no mistake. The US wanted him (Saddam) neither for his brains nor his beauty. The US wanted him for the same reasons the CIA and British Intelligence put him in power originally--to divide and manipulate the region for the benefit of money and oil interests A dramatic attack by a foreign power on America and/or its citizens has long been the key ploy in getting Americans to fight a war. I would guess the US WILL be in a war with Iraq, concievably by Christmas 2002. And if the US needs to go into Iran after occupying Iraq, it will do that too. I would say the invasion of Iraq scenario became inevitable with the election of a president that raised $38 million the first month of his candidacy. No effort has been spared in making war with Iraq so far, and no effort will be spared after this November 5th's election. and this whole chain of events has far too much momentum to be halted. But no matter what, I think we will see a huge war and loss of life. It's too early to predict how huge. The big question in my mind is when will we reach a point where enough people have their eyes open that they no longer put up with being manipulated, their information watered down, their opinions distorted, their government policies bent to favor the biggest financial and industrial interests on earth?
Re: Loss and Rebirth
Hugh, Thanks for the history lesson and lack of hysterics. Just wanted you to know your words reached another person to whom it matters, greatly. Even my 77 year old, mainstream, republican party, mother is beginning to wonder why things "aren't quite right". Stone by stone a mountain of change is occurring. John Buckley Dear Robin,There's more to it than you might think. People who think politics hasnothing to do with agriculture and environment--read on. This is long, butalso informative. Everything that follows is about people, agriculture andthe environment.First, I agree that protest against government policies is healthy.Sometimes it changes things and usually the changes are healthy. Butprotest must be allowed to be healthy. To gage the health of US politics?We will have to see just how much longer Americans are allowed to protestwithout widespread suppression. (Mostly political suppression has beenisolated in the US, though women and blacks have been widely marginalizedand excluded in the past.) I wouldn't want to make any assumptions though.It is noteworthy that Congress has given President Bush more power tosuppress dissent than ever before in American history, though it has beencustomary for Americans to give up their rights during wars.Bush seems to be very popular right now, and not without reason. I don'tthink many of his detractors appreciate how tight a spot he is in or howwell he has done in it so far. He has my admiration in many ways.Of course, in my opinion, he is all the things you say, a 'petroleumtrigger happy military head of state'--and more. Specifically he isanti-environment, and even worse from the viewpoint of most ecologicalfarmers he just made a huge giveaway to conventional cash grain farmers(some of the most destructive farmers) and thus the industries that processtheir grain. He had to do that to avoid a rash of farm bankruptcies and abanking debacle, but also no doubt it was a blatant attempt to buy votes.We'll have to see if it works. He doesn't need but one seat gain in thesenate to have it go his way.Personally I think it is real priority for all the US citizens on this listto vote. Now more than ever.Having said that, let me add another dimension. There is good reason thatBush is both an anti-environmentalist and a 'petroleum trigger happymilitary head of state'. It is no accident.Don't we have to ask why Bush Senior left Saddam in power after DesertStorm? And why is Bush's son so intent on removing him now? One thing isfor sure. The Bushes know a lot more about why Saddam ascended to power andstayed there so long and now MUST go than they would ever publicly admit.We are left to speculate. If we are going to do that, let's first see whatwe KNOW about the dynamics of US policy in the region.After WW II when the CIA was set up, it acted in tandem with the USDepartment of State, and Allan Dulles ran the CIA while his brother, JohnFoster Dulles, ran State. Policies and decisions were born out of back roomdeals that may never come to light, but commonly the CIA worked to putpeople in power who could be swayed or corrupted to our advantage. I sayour advantage. But it was not the advantage of America or its people, itwas to the advantage of banks and corporations who influenced the electionof our politicians and set the general policies of our government(s).In the middle east the US pursued a course of protecting Israel whileconsuming the oil of many of Israel's near neighbors. This in large partmeant setting up "strongmen" that the US could control. The roots of thispolicy went back to pre- WW I days when the Ottoman Empire controlledArabia and most of the Muslim region up to the borders of the Austrian andRussian Empires. (It was an age of military empires. The French had rathera wannabe empire as they still had colonies. The Spanish had lost theirEmpire by running out of gold and getting into a war with the US. TheBritish had the greatest empire on Earth. The US had made a few movestoward empire, siezing Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines and a few otherminor possessions, the most notable being the Panama Canal Zone. But itwasn't enlarging its territory so much, preferring to grow in economicinfluence instead.) In 1914 when the Austria-Hungary's Kaiser attackedFrance the British pursuaded the Czar of Russia to attack the Austrians(buying the French time with the hope that America would get drawn into thewar) by promising the Czar seaports, or at least free access, to theMediterranean. This was supposed to happen at the expense of the Austriansand the Ottoman Empire. Russia had always wanted a European seaport thatwas open year round, so the Czar went for it, saving France's bacon at whatultimately proved to be the cost of his life and his Monarchy. Meanwhilethe British succeeded in breaking up the Ottoman Empire--but they did notfacilitate Russia getting a Mediterranean

Both our governments are giving way to industries, that have the similar motivations and ways to control our thoughts (Although your CNN seems to be a quite the military/patriotic brainwash... unbelievable for us...). As far as I'm concern Americans protesting against their own government is not an 'Anti-American' thing, but totally and fully a American ! In every war Americans have protested their government. Protesting the government is healthy and a patriotic things to do! What's not healthy is following blindly a 'petroleum trigger happy military head of state', and believing everything his propaganda buddies say (e.g. CNN). As far as I'm concern the fact that Americans protest their government saves the face of Americans. Gosh... If no one would take to the streets and voice their discontent, what reasons would I have to like America? Just kidding.
