Another flow to go against

As if being an atheist and a homeschooler isn’t counter-culture enough, we don’t teach our kids about nutrition in the same way that the rest of the country does.  Surprise, we’re not obese either. There’s a youtube video out there that shows the government food pyramid and then it reshapes it to show how much money the government spends subsidizing the production of each food group. Fresh fruits and vegetables need a LOT more love from our government. Ironically, the foods we’re supposed to be eating the most of are funded the least. Junk foods get more funding. I like this article for how to teach nutrition in a holistic way.  And here’s that video, enjoy.

I just learned that the coding for the video doesn’t work in all browsers, so if you want to see it, you need to go to youtube, sorry.
