Children have an extremely toxic environment enforced onto them at a very young age. They are forced to sit under artificial isolated blue light the entire day while being deprived of sunlight until recess. It’s time that we start advocating for all children. Enough is enough. Having children remain sedentary throughout the entire day while sitting under isolated blue light is absolutely awful. And it’s probably not the best thing to be doing for someone who has a newly developing brain… Let’s also talk about the fact that most children are being served junk food, seed oils, and pesticides on a daily basis for lunch in school cafeterias. It’s no wonder why so many individuals have had their health decline early in their 20s. From the second we’re born, we are expected to endure unhealthy environments from ages 5-22. The implication of that is that we are collectively sabotaging our metabolic health, mitochondrial health, gut health, and more. The worst part? We are in this unbelievably unhealthy environment 5 days out of the week for 8-10 hours each day. Why are we setting our youth up for failure from a health standpoint? How come no policies have been implemented to make the school environment for suitable to our biology? My middle school was literally in the basement of an old high school building and it had no windows or exposure to natural sunlight. We were allowed to go outside 15 minutes each day for recess. We were fed chicken nuggets and pizza with a serving of non-organic canned vegetables on a weekly basis. We spent most of our time in school sitting and not moving our bodies nearly as much as we should have. How can that be fair for those who are genetically susceptible to chronic/complex health issues? Regardless of any of our differences, we need to all work together to increase the public’s perception of this issue. Not only this, but we must combine our minds to think of solutions that will benefit our youth. Who’s with me? Let’s do it for the kids.
