Top UK Health And Fitness Expert Speaks Out Against 'Poison' School Dinners
We all know that childrens school dinners need to be imporved upon but just how harmful are they?
(PRWEB) October 28, 2005
Dax Moy, one of the UK’s most respected health and fitness experts spoke out today against the poor quality of foods offered to school children, branding them “Poisons of the worst possible kind”
The statement supports the high profile campaigns being run by the Soil Association and TV Chef Jamie Oliver though adding a more technical element into the mix.
“Most of what crosses the plates of the average child in Britain today is an outright disgrace” Explains Dax Moy who, voted as one of the UK’s top 10 Fitness Experts.
“Essentially, it could be considered ‘non-food’ in that it often costs more in nutritional reserves from your body than it actually supplies. Just look at the packaging of the ingredients of the average school meal and it’s easy to see why more and more of our children are becoming obese, suffering from asthma, diabetes and other ‘adult related’ illness’.
The sheer number of chemical additives, preservatives and chemically engineered ‘enrichment’ processes in evidence now mean that our children are consuming some 10,000 to 15,000 chemical per day!
In order to safeguard the health of our children, parents and schools need to work together to create a ‘Supportive nutrition’ paradigm. A new way of thinking about the food and its role in the maintenance of health is required if we are ever to achieve the life-long disease free lives we aspire to.” Says Moy, who has four children of his own.
“Supportive Nutrition builds upon our old concepts of ‘Healthy Eating’ with a few new ‘rules’ that reflect the changes that modern processing has brought to our food-chain:
If a label has more than a few unpronounceable words on it then don’t let your kids (or adults) eat what’s inside. Its likely that these chemical cocktails will ‘stress out’ your child’s body, creating a potentially ‘toxic environment’.
If you can let it sit on the shelf or in a tin for an extended period then you’ll find it’s full of chemicals to keep it ‘fresh’. Basically this is a ‘non-food’ item and should be avoided.
Genetic Modification encompasses nearly all processed food available today. Even if not directly modified prior to growing, these foods are nonetheless not the same as their ‘natural’ counterparts. If they were then they too would decay at the same rate. “
“It’s like the old adage we’ve all been taught time and again ‘you are what you eat’ and this is true in the most literal of senses. I’m sure that most parents wouldn’t deliberately allow their children to take drugs or ingest poisons and yet without knowing it that is exactly what they do every day! ”.
