Healthy kids need time in nature
Posted March 12, 2013 by David Suzuki
Ontario’s Healthy Kids Panel recently proposed a strategy to help kids get onto a path to health. The problem is that the path doesn’t lead them into nature. Though the report quotes parents’ comments and research showing kids spend dramatically less time outside than ever, it doesn’t encourage time in nature.
That said, many of the report’s recommendations should be implemented and supported locally, provincially and nationally to reduce the risks of obesity. Encouraging parents and children to be more critical about dietary choices and requiring more information and labelling from restaurants and food producers is long overdue.

From Huffpost Feb 24, 2013
Even Warren Buffet must realize that the day of chemical-laden Frankenfood is well and truly receding into the morass of unhealthy, obese citizens who are now desperate for a better way to consume their groceries…food over-processing may have once seemed a necessity, but it has taken its place among the relics of the 20th century….want to turn it around? Offer fewer chemicals, fewer pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, herbicides and ‘flavour enhancers’ and more real, content…most North Americans are willing to pay for healthier food, and the Buffets of the world need to learn to play catch up or start poisoning the Third World, like the tobacco industry, to maintain profitability.
