I keep being told how bad food, and food additives, are a
\nmajor contributing factor in the bad behaviour of children.<\/p>\n
Over the last few years there has been a lot of attention
\nfocused upon the quality of food which is served out in the
\nschools.<\/p>\n
The food writer and chef Jamie Oliver has been very vocal
\nupon this subject.<\/p>\n
The Veggies food co-operative in Nottingham have done a lot
\nof work to improve school meals within the city.<\/p>\n
Anyone who has been within a UK Hospital over the last few
\nyears will tell you just how bad the quality of NHS
\n( National Health Service ) food had become.<\/p>\n
Even more worrying are the continuing reports upon the
\nnutritional value of what is being served to patients.<\/p>\n
Yet it is not just within Schools and hospitals that bad food
\nis served up on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
Food & Nutrition is a Criminal Issue.<\/p>\n
I first meet Ronnie Lee before he founded the Animal
\nLiberation Front ( ALF ).<\/p>\n
Ronnie has been jailed three times for his ALF activities.<\/p>\n
Being a vegan in prison during the 1970s could present one
\nwith various nutritional problems, such as getting to be
\nable to get hold of enough dried fruit or nuts.<\/p>\n
I once asked Ronnie how he had survived a prison diet, and
\nhe told me that it was a question of having a word with
\nwhoever was working in the kitchen at this time.<\/p>\n
My mate Ippy spent a week in jail a couple of years back.
\nThis was for the none payment of fines incurred while on an
\nanti-militarist action.<\/p>\n
From what she told me about her experiences while inside
\nprison, there is a lot more work which needs to be done in
\norder to improve just what is being served up to both
\nvegetarian and none vegetarian prisoners.<\/p>\n
What might be done.<\/p>\n
– Implementing a locally grown organic \/ vegie food regime
\nin prisons would really help the prison population.<\/p>\n
Detoxing the bodies of younger prisoners, who have always
\neaten high additive junk food, should result in the better
\nbehaviour of all prisoners.<\/p>\n
– teach cooking in prisons.<\/p>\n
This would held prisoners to appreciate good home made
\nfood, so that they will no wish to rely upon take away
\nfoods.<\/p>\n
In doing so they will also learn how to pay less for food,
\nlearn how to manage on their income,
\n& thus help to alleviate many of the economic factors which
\nmight otherwise push some individuals towards a life of
\ncrime.<\/p>\n
If you are what you eat, then bad food for prisoners is a
\ncrime, but there is a none punishing solution which may be
\nenacted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
