A miracle in Wisconsin
- A
Miracle in
Wisconsin, by Jon
Rappoport, December
30, 2013, www.nomorefakenews.com
-
- I
published this
article in
October of
2002. At the
time, it was
the most
widely read
piece I'd
written and
posted on my
site. Its
basics still
hold up.
-
- What I
didn't mention
at the time
was the
corrosive role
school-food
distributors
and their
allies on
boards of
education play
in the health
of children.
-
- These
are the people
who operate a
corrupt system
and mandate
the feeding of
toxic and
nutritionally
empty junk to
students
across the
country.
-
- One
school took
another path:
-
- A
revolution has
occurred in
Appleton,
Wisconsin..
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.
-
- 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
LuAnn 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
healthcare.
-
- 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 Ovens
and The
Feingold
Association
have made
strong cuts
into the big
rock of
ignorance and
greed.
