I've been reading these comments and they amaze me.. in a very negative way. Okay so I'm from Finland. As you might know, according to PISA (and probably some other researches as well) Finnish kids do very well in their education, on a global level. Of course there are many factors involved in this, but one definitely is food. We have free school lunches and cheap snack hours (snacks are fruit, toasts, fresh juices, yoghurt etc.) from the age of seven 'till sixteen. And free lunch for the next three years of upper secondary education. And everyone eats! The food they serve is healthy and, for the little money used, quite okay tasting as well. Fresh vegetables and salads with warm dishes, nothing deep fried. Of course there isn't a thing called 'free lunch', it's all paid by the tax payers, but the greatest thing, in my opinion, is that every. single. kid. in this country gets free lunches at school, no matter what their parents earn, and that that food is healthy, energizing and improves our ability to learn.
It makes perfect sense. I am a teacher (high-school chemistry) and I am never my best if I do not eat well on mornings I teach. I do not expect this to differ with my students. Thus the reason I do not give detentions or deprive my students from breaks and lunch. As a matter of fact I keep snacks in my classroom year round. The snacks are for my kids.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs There's a PBS documentary about hungry kids in America, kids who live below the poverty line and its really eye opening to the struggles that some families face, worth a watch!
Sugar tax and reduced tax on vegetables/meats. It would solve a lot of problems. Sugar is more addictive than cocaine and it's ridiculous that it has become the social norm when it has only really been in our diets for the last 100years. It's a treat item, yet companies keep banging it into "health foods" because it's a cheap ingredient, increase the tax on sugar and they may think twice about adding it to their products.
Unfortunately, this also probably correlates to good parenting... Taking a starving child and giving him/her food is a good thing, but a good parent wouldn't let that happen. Your comparing statistics from good parenting to bad parenting and blaming the outcome on a correlating statistic of nutrition. This is just one factor among many... Wish it was that easy.
Anguss1313 This is true, however, parents who can barely even afford the basic daily needs simply cannot provide those kind of meals for their kids... A proper breakfast and dinner program in school would eliminate the cost of meals in which would only be beneficial to their household. 🍗🌱🌽🍜🍞🐟
+Zappy Cat 818 I disagree, being a parent I have realized that it's actually cheaper to eat healthier. Now don't get me wrong, I have all the sympathy in the world to those less fortune and donate my own time and money to this sort of thing. I just have a take the bull by the horns mentality of wanting to address some other serious issues too. It takes experts in every aspects in life to push an agenda they are good at. This guys doing good work.
In my country despite 20 something percent of kids growing up in poverty the government, and depressingly public opinion is opposed to providing kids food in schools. My thing is that we are willing to spend quite a lot educating a child but when children are hungry they can't learn. All that effort and money goes to waste. Kids don't have an equal opportunity to get educated and I think food is one of the root causes of intergenerational poverty and the apparent inability of the majority of those who grow up in poverty to be elevated. On top of that, we are getting more and more obese all the time. School would be the perfect opportunity to teach kids some good nutrition and cooking skills. It might get a lot of them interested in biochemistry and science in general as well. Levelling the playing field for education, I think is all that a society needs for equality once prejudice is conquered. Workplace quotas are bad but if every single kid finishes school in a similar position we will have a much fairer society with a more skilled workforce.
We need to have a real conversation about the QUALITY of school meals. Often, the “food” we are feeding them is hazardous to their health. My school district regularly serves corn dogs, chicken nuggets, and chocolate milk. These products have been correlated with higher cancer, diabetes, and heart disease rates. 🏥
Hey , we dont even have breakfast or lunch here. We have to buy stuff from the little shop thingy (most of the time dried even expired milk does make it through) . Talking from Cyprus
metalhead2508 The women being black is irrelevant, and just because you saw 2 people buying soda doesn't mean other people should have to suffer. Also, if they choose to spend $3 on soda, so be it, as it's their money.
It has been shown that extreme vegan diets can work for children... barely. It is technically possible, but because of the amount of food balancing required it is almost certainly going to leave some damage.
Aldo I don't think there's such a thing as an 'extreme vegan diet'. It's either vegan or it's not. A unhealthy and unbalanced diet can make it extreme, but it being vegan doesn't have anything to do with it ;)
I eat worse than most people around me yet I always get honor role and I don't study, nutrition isn't really all that important towards being intelligent. I also skip breakfast on school days and function perfectly fine. Yes it's important for kids who don't have meals at home to eat well at school but if kids have a meal in general at home then nutrition isn't going to solve their intellectual problems, learning how they mentally work is the answer. This video in general is talking about hungry kids for the most part though so I still agree with the point somewhat.
Just educate their parents IMO. In the US, you could get decent nutrition values for a few dollars per day. A minimum wage worker working for half an hour could make enough to get that.
after having kids, my mom said to me "you must save on everything but not on food" my boys are now 13, 14 and i still follow this rule. they like my cooking better than school lunch because school lunch is too small. their lunches consist water, carbohydrates, fruit, veggie and meat.
Well, I think that parents should teach and help their children to have healthy diets. My parents just keep on yelling at me whenever they find out that I skiped any of my meals. Since then, I treat my stomach better.
Amazing speech but it will never work in America not untile they make some very hefty changes to the industry. first, put a cost cap not increase wages but a cap on how much the food, medical and goods can cost then you can begin fixing the damage industry has done.
So simple and true. I dare anyone to explain why we should not feed all of your children regardless of any conditions, including their parents or their abilities. This should be something all Americans can get behind in a big way. Thanks for the speech and getting the word out!
Its staggering to know that in a so called 1st world country, there are children that are starving... BTW the comments section is really bad...consider disabling.
Starts by saying his whole family are teachers. Reminds me of Persian poet Saadi's "my whole tribe were teachers of religion / teacher of your love taught me poetry"
Yes. Search for this Ghazal: معلّمت همه شوخی و دلبری آموخت جفا و ناز و عتاب و ستمگری آموخت همه قبیلهی من عالمان دین بودند مرا معلّم عشق تو شاعری آموخت
Okay bit where are we getting the money from to feed students? My school is really low on money and so there have been days where they actually ran out of food so that we had to have chips and a can of snapple if we wanted to buy lunch.
Estamos preocupados por el mejoramiento de los aprendizajes en la escuela, así que buscamos alternativas para elevar el aprovechamiento y el logro educativo. En este vídeo se analiza un problema recurrente en los estudiantes. Se presentan a la escuela muchas veces sin haber desayunado, algunas otras sin haber comido, cenado y desayunado. Esta falta de nutrientes de merita su aprendizaje, el presente es un estudio realizado en Estados Unidos en Nueva York, es impactante como reduce la capacidad de aprender de los estudiantes la falta de alimentos nutritivos. Ellos ya lo midieron. ¿Tendremos algo que cambiar en la alimentación de nuestros estudiantes, para mejorar su desempeño escolar?
How sad it is that we have to talk about the importance of healthy nutrition in relation to school performance. I think that the entire educational system needs to be reformed to suit the needs of current generations whose lifestyle is completely different from the time the current system was established which was in the late 1800. It's time to switch from a competitive society to a healthy and collaborative one.
Well, there's some truth in there... The guy apparently doesn't know the difference between causation and correlation. Kids skipping breakfast are likely from broken families or single parents, therefore they don't do well in school. It doesn't necessarily mean skipping breakfast is the cause, but that they are less likely to have the same resources as rich kids.
mhtinla they are hungry because of the types of food like processed sat fat foods they don't have access to fruits and veggies and healthy food which is why they are hungry
LET'S STOP TALKING ABOUT IT *LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN AMERICA* we can Start by simply shipping out granola bars with brands such as KIND & leaving them available for kids as soon as they walk into homeroom (I Know it makes a difference)
1 in 6 americans starving? why aren't the boomers doing anything about this? we should at least give children food. it would be good for the overall health, long term for the future generations.
it is not just strange but outright wrong that people should go hungry and be homeless in a country with the most richest people on the earth..i feel ashamed.. i am not an american but i am a human and this hurts to my core that a kid should go hungry when people can spend millions of dollars on luxury items that they dont even need.. i am ashamed and angry
you know there is a big problem in this talk, such talks are/should be really heavy on statistics and evidence which this video doesnt explain eating breakfast at school makes this and this this, where in the world? who did the analysis? what if schools serving breakfast have higher income, more resources due to the families of the area being richer. The determining factor could be the families study shows a link to black students underperforming, but you know we compared ethiopia night schools with private schools in who knows where, and other study could show the opposite given a bad analysis when given wrong information one can conclude anything, I don't exactly remember where this quote is from but here it is "if 1=2 then I am the pope, because the pope and I are two people, two people are the same as one therefore I am the pope"
You luck people ... a majority of the world would be glad just to have a decent meal a day. I'm sure many in America are not in that league too. Wake up and smell the rose.
I wonder why you all rate this talk so well. It is statistically equally bad researched as most of the soft social justice talks and is almost entirely made up of anecdotal evidence. The biggest difference to the poorly rated TED videos seems to be that this failing individual happens to be male? This talk sucks.
THIS GUY HAS NOT DONE ANY RESEARCH TO THE FOOD ITSELF. humans should not be consum I ng meat dairy and eggs for knowledge. that is going to weaken their systems, and contribute to animal cruelty. i am an energized, A student, and i am vegan whaile being 13. I have an idea, why dont you dramatically increase your research?

Of course, but as a government or society it is easier to provide decent school lunches than good parenting
Anguss1313 - such a good comment!!
he showed an improvement of scores over time, when the only factor that changed was nutrition. This indicates causal relationship.
Anguss1313 This is true, however, parents who can barely even afford the basic daily needs simply cannot provide those kind of meals for their kids... A proper breakfast and dinner program in school would eliminate the cost of meals in which would only be beneficial to their household.

Perhaps if the SNAP benefits weren't so damned stingy they might not go hungry. We need to enhance the SNAP program.

Water is the most natural component ..drink it. I respect veggies more often now the more I grow
How bow daatte

Just educate their parents IMO. In the US, you could get decent nutrition values for a few dollars per day. A minimum wage worker working for half an hour could make enough to get that.
IvanAndreevich and what about everything else they have to pay
Food should be prioritized over nearly everything else. That would be part of the education for the parents, in case they didn't know that already.
after having kids, my mom said to me "you must save on everything but not on food" my boys are now 13, 14 and i still follow this rule. they like my cooking better than school lunch because school lunch is too small. their lunches consist water, carbohydrates, fruit, veggie and meat.

MY NAME IS CHEF
I'm a chef...
Just make your kids lunches & prevent them from eating at school. It's that simple...
Watching this video while i am eating pogos.... i fell guilty....
Why is it the taxpayers’ obligation to serve food to children attending school? It’s the parents’ responsibility.
He's the only guy in the family who was illiterate so he became a chef

Kids skipping breakfast are likely from broken families or single parents, therefore they don't do well in school. It doesn't necessarily mean skipping breakfast is the cause, but that they are less likely to have the same resources as rich kids.
If the kids are constantly hungry, they have bigger problems than learning. Call social service, not school chef.
mhtinla they are hungry because of the types of food like processed sat fat foods they don't have access to fruits and veggies and healthy food which is why they are hungry
maybe if he pronounced quinoa correctly....
I had a McDonald's advert next to this video...
I eat a lot - nope, still stupid.
make sure to feed them meat, dairy, and eggs for the necesssary carcinogens, animal fats, cholesterol, hormones, and bacteria.
