In case you need more reasons to eat local, organic foods here is a sad, but hilarious clip where British school children can’t identify a variety of common vegetables.
What would happen if McDonald’s or Tim Horton’s stopped serving, or what if the processed food section in the supermarkets went dry? Would kids try to eat grass and rocks because they don’t know where their food comes from?

Yea…this was astonishing, what amazed me even more was the fact that they were not given a fork & knife to eat with!!!! Breeding a generation to identify with hand held fast food as opposed to REAL FOOD! Shocking, Appalling, Disgraceful are a few things that come to mind. These are the adults of tomorrow, I think what we need to be asking ourselves is –
HOW MUCH TIME AND MONEY IS SPENT EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN ON THE IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION?
and something even more radical – WHY NOT A SCHOOL VEGETABLE GARDEN? I would have loved something like that as a kid!
