Jamie's School Dinners - Food Most Fowl

Jamie's School Dinners

See the animated cartoon for kids about what goes into food designed for children.

Luckily the government,nutritionists, School Foods Trust and Caroline Walker Trust have all agreed that rectum, testicles, lung, udder, feet and other tasty tidbits should no longer be in school food for children.

London Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston says there is still much work to be done.

Omega 3 from Fish Oils not sustainable

Fish Oil IQ test a red herring says leading London nutritionist on ITN - Video

Founder of Foods For Life Yvonne Bishop-Weston tells ITV ITN reporter Chris Choi that Fish oil is not a long term solution for UK school children. "It's unsustainable both financially and environmentally"

ITN report microscopic sea plants ( Algae )may be a cheaper more environmentally friendly option to address the predicament of low levels of omega 3 long chain fatty acids DHA and EPA in childrens diets.

Meanwhile Jamie Oliver star of Jamies School Dinners on Channel 4 says parents who fail to properly feed their children are "arseholes and tossers"

Yvonne says parents should be more responsible but not blamed as the people who they look to for guidance such as Doctors and Schools have a limited understanding of nutrition themselves.

"When you have Burger King offering Hospital Catering (Croydon, Southampton, Cambridge) it's a bit harsh to start calling parents rude names - Mr Oliver needs to aim his fully loaded barrels a bit higher!" advises Yvonne.

New interim guidelines for caterers of school meals were released by DfES , SFT and Govt this week. Free water has to be made available, less fatty and sugary foods, and it's now illegal to feed school children testicles, rectum, udder, feet and other nasty smelly bits of animals often hidden in sausages, burgers and twizzlers.

Vegetarians Win BBC Test The Nation

Vegetarians Win BBC Test The Nation - Results

It seems that if you want the best IQ then 2 secrets may be to be a vegetarian and go to public school.

In The BBC's Test the Nation programme testing for IQ it was the vegetarians that won followed by the ex public school boys.

London Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston from Foods For Life says "This Vegetarian win supports advice that a diet richer in fruit and vegetables, nuts and seeds is better for sustainable healthy brain function"

Just as well the Vegetarians won - they were up against the butchers, estate agents and footballers wives - if they'd have lost against any of them it would have been a bit of a PR disaster for The Vegetarian Society who fielded 4 staff members amongst the 30 strong team.

IQ Test your Vegetarian or Vegan brain power and intelligence!

Burger King Extremists Bid to Save The World

Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Oliver Burkeman reports on 'extreme dining' in the US

Fast Food Giants Do The World A Favour.

The Final Solution - Natural selection - Save the World! - Kill the really dumb people!

Burger King and other Fast Food Giants in the USA have finally realised the only sustainable way forward for the planet and the human race is veganism. Having failed to entice their clientele with vegan offerings of fresh fruit and salad and other "healthy options" they have realised that some of their customers are just too dumb to see sense. The final solution? Give them enough rope to hang themselves - kill them off as quickly as possible - enter the "Burger King Stacker Quad" , Denny's Extreme Grand Slam Breakfast or Hardee’s Thickburger (for real thickies?) 70% of your recommended daily calorific intake in a single meal!

And they call PeTA members and vegans extremists?!?!??

Milk "Less Fresh" scheme costs £1m

BBC NEWS | England | Cornwall | Dairy farmers get 1m for upgrade

More than £1m of EU funding has been awarded to Cornish dairy farmers to help them improve their facilities.
The Objective One money has come from Cornwall Enterprise's Dairy Collect service. It aims to make the industry more sustainable in the county.

As part of the scheme, milk on farms is chilled more efficiently and in larger quantities, so buyers' tankers can visit every other day instead of daily.

Nearly 90 farms will benefit from the next round of cash.

Not only will this be another nail in the coffin of the Dairy Industry as it ensures milk is less fresh but also will offer incentives to farmers to include milk contaminated with pus, ivermectin, anti biotics and other contaminates to reach volumes required for bonusses.

No Diet Pill Just Healthy Diet For Fat Vegan

The Fat Vegan Project

Chris from Gloucestershire Veggie Fayre has embarked on his Fat Vegan Project.On his new blog he tells us

"Over a year period I will attempt to lose weight to finally get down to my healthy weight (around 11 - 12 stone) which I was only 6 years ago. If you were to listen to most experts they would tell you that in order to lose weight you might want to cut down on dairy and meat... Well Im a vegan and Im knocking on 22 stone.

With help from some vegan nutrition experts, the vegan business comunnity and moral support from friends and family we hope to raise some serious
money for vegan / animal charities."

Chris will be helped by London Nutritionist, founder of Foods For Life, ION (Institute of Optimum Nutrition) tutor and co Author of "Vegan" - Yvonne Bishop-Weston.

She says "Following all the publicity about the new diet pill this is perfect timing by Chris to prove the best way to loose weight is a weight loss diet based on a healthy diet"

Chris is living proof that a Vegan diet or Vegetarian diet is not always necessarily good protection against putting on weight. There are plenty of high calorie, high carbohydrate, high sugar, high fat foods and drinks that are vegan.

"With help from a Personal Trainer I hope to help Chris gradually lose weight so that the fat loss is sustainable and he ends up as a shining example of how healthy you can be on a 100% plant based vegan diet."

Not Enough Fish in The Sea for Non Vegetarian Omega 3

Not everyone is delighted at the Govt's plans to dose children with omega 3 DHA and EPA (see Independent - Omega 3 on the menu)

London Nutritionist and founder of Foods For Life Yvonne Bishop-Weston says that "Apart from the issues of toxity in fish from dioxins, PCB's, xeno-oestrogens and heavy metals there are simply not enough fish in the sea for this type of mass dosing of omega 3 DHA and EPA from fish."

George Monbiot from the Guardian agrees - There's not enough fish in the sea

Vegan artist Eats whole cow

British artist Damian Hirst famously pickled whole animals. Now, a Portuguese vegan artist from Glasgow School of Fine Art has arranged an installation that will encourage members of the public to eat a whole cow. But is it art?

Glasgow, UK (PRWEB) June 18, 2006 -- 25 year old artist Zoe Birrell’s work is featured as part of Glasgow School of Arts’ Degree Show -- An annual exhibition of final year work from Fine Art, Architecture and Design.

The Times Newspaper and the Independent Newspaper have both chosen Glasgow School of Arts’ Degree show as the best Art show to visit in Scotland.

The Times said: "This is the best opportunity to discover artists before their reputations and prices soar the Independent described the event as ‘one of the 'best degree shows' outside of London."

Vegetarian since the age of 14 and a Vegan for the last 5 years Zoe decided to explore the issues of intensively farmed animals related to her own femininity. The life of the modern dairy cow, kept perpetually pregnant and thus full of hormones whilst suffering the emotional stress of loss of her baby calf inspired Zoe to focus on these psychological and physiological issues and the ethical alternatives.

Zoe has cast her own body weight of delicious dairy free vegan chocolate, donated by Plamil Foods, into a herd of 420 chocolate cows, 300 of which the public will be invited to purchase and eat.

Fish in Omega 3 Fortified Milk, Eggs & Cheese is Vegetarian Society's Worst Nightmare

Something Fishy Going On? Omega 3 Fortified Milk, Eggs & Cheese is Vegetarian Society Worst Nightmare

omega 3 vegetarian dha epa essential fatty acid

Despite publicity about toxity in fish, and unsustainability of fish stocks, fish oils are increasingly being added to dairy products to increase levels of omega 3 essential fatty acids. This could be The Vegetarian Society's worst nightmare as milk, cheese, yoghurts and margarine are no longer acceptable for a vegetarian diet. However a new vegetarian EPA Omega 3 product could save their veggie bacon.

A Report from Flora margarine says that 80% of consumers are concerned that they are not getting enough Omega 3.

Even the BMJ admit there are not enough fish in the sea to cope with present demand.

Algae based Vegetarian DHA EPA seems the logical answer. See V-Pure from Water 4 Life for more info.

Big Brother Tony Blair Liar Liar Bum's on Fire

Telegraph | News | Tony Blair: Time to act against animal rights protesters

Big Brother Tony Blair prove's he's a Liar Liar Bum's on Fire Bliar Bliar writing in the Torygraph.

"Many millions more will be spared an early death or a life of pain because of the research now under way. They deserve our support. And they should get it."

Meanwhile innocent campaign administrators have been arrested and sent to jail despite no evidence that they have actually done anything apart from run a successful campaign and print leaflets, send emails and run websites.

Blair talks about keeping shareholders and company directors names a secret - is this guy masonic or demonic?

Little wonder Labour did so badly in the local elections - they've well and truly lost the bunny vote.

It seems he is intent on being big pharma's puppet in protecting their illegal activities and disgusting inhumane torture. He has no excuse - he has been shown undercover evidence of what goes on and HLS's illegal activities but obviously the hand up his backside is too big to allow him to stop licking these criminal's bottoms.
