School Diet Change Brings Improved Behavior, Healthier, More Focused Students

 

"Before the Appleton Wisconsin high school replaced their cafeteria's

processed foods with wholesome, nutritious food, the school was described as

out-of-control. There were weapons violations, student disruptions, and a cop on

duty full-time. After the change in school meals, the students were calm,

focused, and orderly. There were no more weapons violations, and no suicides,

expulsions, dropouts, or drug violations. The new diet and improved behavior has

lasted for seven years, and now other schools are changing their meal programs

with similar results."

-- Jeffrey M. Smith, Author of Seeds of Deception

 

 

The informative article below clearly demonstrates the importance of a healthy

school diet for our children. Diet is being shown to clearly influence both

behavior and mood. A healthy diet fosters calmer, healthier, more focused

behavior. Studies like the one below demonstrate that excessive amounts of fast

food can lead to severe behavior changes, and suggest that avoiding genetically

modified foods may be a very healthy option. Links at the bottom of the article

provide lots more information on this topic for those interested.

[Note from moderator: Most schools run two shifts in Mumbai and similar

situation may exist in other metros too. Most of moms find it difficult to

decide what to give the children in lunch box when they leave for school at 6:30

to 7 am. Members may post receipe/suggestions reg. healthy but fast to prepare

foods for such school going kids. Some moms told that they give biscuits, cake,

chips, coockies, sweets, etc; bust as we all know, this is not a healthy food]
