Brad Sherard Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 http://www.yuckmovie.com/ Here is one particular scene that exemplifies what the modern american public school children are given to eat: http://vimeo.com/64607150#at=0 What interests me about this is not so much the food; I'm already well aware how terrible it is(we joked as children about the FSA classification for cafeteria food being 'suitable for human consumption but not recommended'). I find the disparity of knowledge between people more fascinating. There is the younger generation and those who had grown up poor that take this knowledge for granted that even the worst fast food would be healthier and far tastier than the stuff they serve in schools. Then there is the older generations and the rich who are not aware of how bad things have become in the years since they were in school. The ossification of the 'service' of molding children by the hands of state protected monopolies on labor has become so complete now that quality is not even a consideration except in so far as it must be hidden from society. This is so obvious now that it takes an almost active will and participation with the liars to be mislead to not see how bad things are becoming. It is rather disgusting to witness the self-reinforced ignorance of these sheltered people, hiding from knowledge much like stunted Epsilons accepting the sweet nothings whispered by frauds such as Oprah and these celebrity chefs selling snake oil stories. These con artists are so unashamed that they smear their logos, brands and faces across the very products that confess their crimes. Hardly anyone even blinks an eye at this wretched behavior. All the while, children are being cast into this meat grinder where they are poisoned with bad food and worse ideas. Many I've shown this video to shrug and say 'tell me something I don't know' but others become almost hysterical, saying things like 'so and so should be fired' and 'we need such and such school investigated immediately'. I point out that is it systemic, not particular to a single school and certainly not at odds with the incentives of the system and then the response becomes 'we need a law'. I wonder if third party self defense includes truth-avoiding tools of the state who do everything they can to rationalize the sacrifice of kids at the alter of ignorant convenience.
