Food hypersensitivity diagram:
"'We found that food provocation in food intolerant patients was characterized by a general and systemic immune activation accompanied by an increase in systemic symptoms. Our findings might be important for the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of food intolerance.'"
When I was watching Jamie Oliver and his school dinners programme last night I became aware how the government and media would rather perform a character assassination on Jamie than support and help him . He was prepared to put his money where his mouth is, do the hard yards, solve and negotiate the difficulties. he was putting a lot of himself into helping the children get proper food. They would rather block and mbad mouth him. How very odd. When it becomes clear this will be a generation of children who will die before their parents because they are not accessing proper food, then Jamie's mission ought to have had cheers and a top priority. Children are all we can put intot he furure. Bad and contaminated food , or as the kids put it "fake food" should not be something you have to fight for . It was just unbelievable. Last week the pediatrician was talking about an 8 year old vomiting fecal material from impacted feces caused by bad diet and this week the school was talking about how they had had no children with asthma attacks since the food had been changed. Earlier one of the parents was talking about how her child's behaviour improved on good food and then deteriorated within 30 mins of being served the fake food. The evidence was there. And this 37p per serve? What's that about? We are the adults. We are supposed to look after our progeny. When governments are elected and then take charge it is not a mandate to do as they please and ignore the welfare and wishes of those who VOTED for them. At some stage I'd like to hear somebody important thank Jamie Oliver for putting himself out so much and creating a working model ,and the dinner ladies for being so long suffering and flexible, and the army for being the army...the support in a crisis ,so that the children at school could just eat proper, nutritious food and actually KNOW what food was. That , too, was astounding. How the kids had no idea what real food was. The land of the bangers and mash, the brussel sprout the boiled ham and cabbage, the spotted dick and Yorkshire pud has done its children an injustice.
The site above is a comprehensive site for people who are intolerant to food. If nothing else it made me aware we need to be very careful about what comes onto our table as food and that the multinationals , conglomerates and people who own the seed patents, will make it hard for us to actually feed ourselves healthy, nutritious food. Why would they do that?
