At face value giving kids the option for healthy plant-based high complete protein foods is a good idea however the implementation of it is where this fails. The Impossible Foods meat substitutes have been widely criticized because they contain high levels of glyphosate (Roundup pesticide) due to being made from nonorganic GMO soybeans. Glyphosate is a problem chemical in high amounts that causes fatty liver disease and obesity due to it displacing the amino acid glycine. Glyphosate is very toxic to intestinal symbiotic bacteria causes depression and increases covid mortality by raising inflammation cytokines. Even worse, Bill Gates is trying to force his foods down our throats by trying to ban animal husbandry in Oregon and Colorado through legislation (Oregon's IP13 bill) which criminalizes it as sexual abuse of animals.

Are they really trying to feminize boys and cause girls to mature much earlier? And let’s make them more likely to get cancer with all the chemicals necessary to make this crap taste “normal”. Oh yippee!

The situation is "Impossible"! If this surprises anyone; then, you've been asleep at the wheel!

Who gives the go ahead to Impossible Foods to supply schools? The school managers must be held to account. Surely each school has a healthy food promotion policy? Are the parents made aware that their children’s health is at stake and have they signed a consent form to feed their children experimental fake foods? Should they be reporting this as child abuse or assault? There are so many individuals involved in providing school meals, from the dinner lady serving it to the bureaucrat signing contracts - all must be held responsible.

I see an opportunity to overhaul society by starting at both the highest and lowest levels of society at the same time. By that, I mean, not only those who tend to be forgotten about, but also one of the largest social complexes. That is, our prisons. There are some admirable prisons and even those that offer selective tours of their facilities. They are proud of what they do and want taxpayers to see how the money is being spent. However, many prisons feed prisoners the worst kind of garbage. Many farmers would not feed this kind of crap to their livestock. There is no reason for this except, possibly, lucrative contracts with the food industry.

When giving prisoners metal tools, there is risk. However, I think even a substantial segment of prisoners would support prison gardens if they knew they would benefit from better meals. If the military can provide security for many items, it should be possible to secure tools and account for them in prisons. There are procedures for such things. By engaging prisoners in productive work, it would cut down on acts of aggression that come simply from sitting in a cell all day under artificial lighting, being bored and not having much to do. Also, reduce costs to tax-payers.

Many prisons have their own bakeries, so it is not too far-fetched to make other kinds of food from scratch. Foods need not be expensive. There should definitely be big bowls of hearty vegetable soups on the menu. Not canned, prepackaged or from processed ingredients, but made fresh in the prison kitchens. Even freshly-cooked beans and rice can be a gourmet meal with a fresh salad.

Prison crews could glean fields. Once we were asked to host a group of ex-felons who organized to glean and improve their lives. They were clean, responsible, courteous and good workers. They supervised themselves. It is very difficult to rehabilitate the mind and spirit when the body is toxic, malnourished and prisoners feel no one cares about them.
