The Peace Diet Program

A few years ago, when the program was little more than a concept, I had the bright yet naive idea to meet with Aramark, the food provider for CPS...and prisons. The lady came out and listened to my whole presentation linking their food with behavioral and emotional dysfunction, sat back in her chair and said, "So, you don't like my menu?!" Well, rather than complaining or expecting them to contadict their own interests, we developed our own program to feed our children's needs. I am truly grateful for another week of service and nutritional support at Freedom Home Academy!

Highlights--
Quinoa Pizza Burgers with Cashew Mozzarella
Chia Pancakes with Fresh Blueberry Syrup
Baked Bean and Avocado Taquito with Nacho Cheez Dip (made from potatoes and carrots!)
Chili Cheese Fries with Sprouted Tofu Crumbles

"I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy."
Rabindranath Tagore

Thanks to Kofi Ademola Xola and the Black Lives Mayyer family for inviting me out for their Back to School event!

The Peace Diet Program was representing with Organic Mango and Purple Superfruit Sno Cones, our own Flamin Hot Nachos with Seitan Ground "Meat", and Cashew Cheese.

Yup...set up a full fledged hood snack stand, but instead of propylene glycol, lead filled artificial flavors, and junk food, we had DHA Omega 3s, turmeric, and other plant-based anti-depressants (cashews!!!)
