He met quite a few barriers along the way, one in the name of Alice (head cook of the cafeteria) that did not start off being his number one fan. Everyone was very reluctant to change, even the local radio station, but with time he managed to work his magic and made a difference.Very interesting to hear the logic behind school cafeterias guidelines and what they consider to be real food....
Jaime teams up with young students that wish to make a difference in their lives and its very touching how each and everyone of them was touched in a special way by Jamie's life changing experiment.
I've been working for a school board for the last twenty years, 19 out of those years at the elementary level. Lets just say that I've seen many lunches and I can understand why there is so much hyperactivity in our schools today. All of the food coloring in the lunches fruit roll-ups, fruit snacks, pudding, jello, fruit drinks, Gatorade, soft drinks....and the list goes on...
We as parents are the only ones responsible for putting either bad, unhealthy choices or good healthy choices in our kids lunch boxes. We are the ones that go to work daily, earn a salary and buy the food. We have to stand up as parents to our children and show them that if they want chocolate cookies that we can make that with them, if they want fries, that we can make that with them....everything can be made the good old fashioned way. Yes, it takes more time and energy but it is so worth it in the long run...invest in your family and your health and you wont' regret it , I promise you that..
Check out the video below to view this health angel in action. I really think that he is a pioneer in health and has a fantastic soul and really wants the best for all of these kids. He is a leader who's example we should all follow.
Please watch the above video with your children, they will find it very interesting.....
Stay healthy....
