Jamie Oliver - Food Revolution - Day 381

If you haven't already, I suggest watching Jamie Oliver's TV series - Food Revolution.

This blog is a continuation to the blog series where the question: Who is Responsible for our Children's Education? is asked.

 

In Jamie Oliver's TV series - Food Revolution Episode 2, there are a few dimensions we should be concern off:

1. Lack of understanding the consequences of our eating habit.

2. Lack of Vocabulary of Children at the age of 6 years.

3. Dysfunctional Governmental Food and Health Department

4. Ignorance of Parents with regarding the Nutrition Value of the food their children eat.

5. Group Mentality and the consequences of Bullying.

 

These are just some of the underlying points that I've seen thus far from watching Episode 1-2.

 

Within this blog, I would be focusing on the problem Number 2 - Lack of Vocabulary of children at the age of 6 years.

When Jamie Oliver went to investigate the children's awareness of a simple things as Vegetables, he found out that the majority, if not all children, couldn't recognized the vegetables he presented to them however, they all knew what Chips or what Ketchup sauce are and of course, what Hamburger is. This is a concerning problem because while all children knew what Ketchup is, none of them knew what a tomato is or how a tomato looks like even when they have seen the tomato in front of their eyes. This was also the case with the chips - they all knew what chips is but couldn't recognize a potato.

 

Now, let me remind you again, these are no age 1-3 children, these are 6 years old children, first grade children that couldn't recognize the basic raw material that all of us eat on a daily basis. These are not poor children that have never had access to raw material such as vegetables, these are middle class children that are not educated in the basic life skills of words. It is no wonder that they didn't want to eat vegetable in their raw form and preferred eating pizza - their eating habits is already corrupted and to correct the problem, a massive education process must be conducted - both to the children, parents and educators.

 

The solution isn't as simple because we are dealing here with generations of brainwashing and physical programming that was initiated and forced by the Elite in this world through political intervention. I mean, the school budget, the food regulation, consumption and menus are all part of the Governmental guidelines despite of the physical evidence that the food the children are eating at school is killing them slowly but surely.

 

The solution therefore start with self education - to actually care about our children and investigate the food we are feeding them. that means that the parents must budget their time to prepare food that support their children's physical body and stand as their example - the parents too must change their eating habits because after all, it is the parents who were brainwashing their children in developing ineffective eating habits.

From here, we expand our care on a global scale and stand up together to change to political force to a force that support Life instead of a force that support the life of a few through money, power and greed.

It is time that we take responsibility for our reality within the understanding that what we see, what is here, is what we have created through our acceptances and allowances.

 

Obviously, the reward is extra ordinary - healthy and conscious society would reduce the diseases in this world, will ensure the well being of our children and will prolong our life span.

We all say we love our children and we want the best for them - well, that start with making sure that their physical body would be supported, taken cared for and regarded. Having dysfunctional body wouldn't be in alignment to your statement that you want the best for your child would it? So - take responsibility for your child, find out what the children are being fed at school and make a stand of what would you accept and allow and what would you not.

Finish Everything on your Plate! - Day 355

Continuing with the Question Who is Responsible for our Children's Education?

 

Recent research has shown the relationship between Child Obesity and Parents ever going request: "Finish every on your plate". (Source: Parents who tell children to finish everything on their plates are 'fuelling obesity').

 

So what do we teach our children? Are we teaching them that food cannot be wasted? Are we teaching them the value of food?  Are we teaching them that it is Bad to not finish everything that is on your plate? Are we teaching them that it is impolite to not finish the food? Are we teaching them that they must feel guilty if they do not finish their food? Do we really know what is it that we are teaching them and have we actually realized that we are teaching them something within every word we speak to them?

 

What parents do not understand is the relationship between the words they speak and the influence the words would have on their child. So here is a good example to show how Words are in essence create our world and how words would influence the child's future whether it is their effectiveness as human beings, their success in life, the quality of their life, the decisions they will make and now we can clearly see not only the consequences on their physical body but also, the physiological effect obesity for instance would create in the child's life.

 

So it is interesting that thus far, Obesity was mostly looked at from the perspective of the Corporation responsibility in terms of their misleading advertisement and the unsupportive nutrition added to food but in terms of the actual responsibility of the parents, not much was said or studied.

 

This is because the Natural learning ability was not understood and one of the human's tendency is to always shift responsibility rather than investigating all things and accordingly take self responsibility. It is thus important to study and understand the influence of words/vocabulary on the child and within that, why and how the child would develop their entire personality, the 'who they are' already in the first 7 years of their life through the words the parents speak, the association the child would create to these words, the energy experience within it and the memories of the events related to these words.

 

Within that, one would be able to start understanding what does Natural learning ability is, how to use it correctly and effectively to enhance the child natural skills instead of us as parents, having to deal with consequences.

More about Words and the child Natural learning ability can be investigated on EQAFE within the interview series: Parenting - Perfecting the human race.
