Stop Poisoning Our Nation's Students with Toxic School Lunches!
New test results from Moms Across America show high levels of glyphosate, 29 pesticides, heavy metals, and hormones in our national school lunch program. The tests also reveal that school lunches are deplorably deficient in nutrients.
I am writing to ask my elected officials and the USDA to prioritize the safety and nutrient density of our nation’s school lunches.
The testing of 43 school lunch samples shows:
- 95.3% of the school lunch items contained carcinogenic, endocrine disrupting, and liver disease-causing glyphosate.
- 74% of the samples contained at least one of 29 harmful pesticides.
- 4 Veterinary drugs and hormones were found in 9 school lunches samples at levels up to 130.76 ng/g.
- 100% of the school lunch samples contained heavy metals at levels up to 6,293 X higher than the EPA’s maximum levels allowed in drinking water.
- The majority of the samples were abysmally low in nutrients.
Many of these toxins have been found to contribute to or cause neurodevelopment disturbances, immune system damage, hormone disruption, cancer, liver disease, tumors, and more.
Without proper nutrients, our children’s brains will not function properly, and their bodies will not be developed as needed. Often children with learning and behavioral issues are deficient in just one or two minerals or vitamins; when those nutrients are added to their diet, their mental, physical, and behavioral issues subside. Even violent behavior is discontinued. Our children must have proper nutrient-dense food.
Suppose our country has any desire to have a thriving future where we remain a world power. In that case, it is essential that you, our elected officials, and the government regulatory agency charged with the safety of the food supply, take action immediately. Our children’s health is a matter of national security.
It is time that our government supports and requires non-toxic farming practices that provide safe, nutrient-dense food for the future leaders of America.
Thank you.
