LAUSD Food Revolution with Jamie Oliver

I am sitting in Jamie Oliver’s community test kitchen in LA talking to parents fed up with nutrition choices in our schools. Jamie wants to look deeper at LA schools but is hitting resistance from the money trail that currently sells kids “rubbish” at school.

Care to help? Email these school board members today:

Please send LA school board members a message that you want our kids to have access to fresh, healthy food! Ask them to let Jamie in to look at comprehensive solutions guided by parents, nutritionists & food experts. The junk people brought in was atrocious and you’ll have to tune in to the new season to see what Jamie did with a cow in this room of parents & kids today.

Learn more in our upcoming postst about our journeys and desire to create integrated networks of knowledge for microgeneration systems and safe sustainable practices at the home, village and community level.  We are currently meeting with partners in Los Angeles and worldwide capable of building new villages with sustainable power, food and lifestyle systems that can grow new opportunities in many climates.

From Amoration’s Tekfarms wiki:

Currently half of the people on this planet die of poverty, because they do not have basic access to resources.  * Starvation and food/water borne diseases  * Smoke inhalation from indoor cooking fires. Simple things contribute to over 30 million deaths a year.

Open technology can prevent half of global death — can we prevent several holocausts a year by sharing open technology?
