How Do School Lunches Around The World Look?
It’s important that growing children eat healthy, but judging by the appearances of some school lunches out there, it doesn’t seem like schools like to deliver the goods. But the Sweetgreen restaurant chain released a series of school lunch comparisons from countries around the world, giving us a look at how culture and geography can affect the diversity and healthfulness of school lunches.
From a US or UK perspective, the school lunches in many other countries seem mouth-wateringly fresh and varied. The lunches from Brazil and South Korea especially stood out for their delicious-looking variety. In other countries, unfortunately, lunch ladies have earned reputations as distributors of foul, toxic concoctions.
Let us know in the comments – which lunch looks the best to you? What did your childhood school lunch look like?
An Acidic Lifestyle and Diet Leads to Diabetes, Heart Disease and Cancer
95% of ALL sickness and disease is caused by what you eat, what you drink and what you think. 5% of ALL sickness and disease is caused by genetics which is expressed or triggered by what you eat, what you drink and what you think. 100% of ALL sickness and disease is caused by what you eat, what you drink and what you think. Therefore all sickness and disease is caused by the over-acidificaiton of the blood and then tissues due to an inverted way of living, eating, drinking and thinking.
The prevention of ALL sickness and disease is achieved by following an alkaline lifestyle and diet. It is that simple.
The following video was produced by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to educate people in re-thinking their acidic lifestyles and diet or eating living and eating habits.
The video depicts a man whose life “flashes right before his very eyes, unhealthy acidic dis-ease causing habits and all,” Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta posted online. “You’ll get a shocking sneak peek into the future to see what life might be like for a child who carries unhealthy acidic lifestyle and eating habits into his adulthood.” The choices parents teach their child today become the habits they will take into their adulthood with all the associated dis-eases!
What is the one toxic acidic living, eating or drinking habit you wished you never picked up?

Healthy Eating Without Killing the Nutrition
FROM ILLNESS TO ABUNDANT energy 2012, AN UPDATE 2 YEARS ON…
Two Months after being in hospital with an attack of colitis (January 2012), I would go as far as to state as far as I’m concerned, I didn’t have IBD anymore. This might be a case of positive thinking, but I didn’t have any pain or symptoms anymore, if it is dormant then I don’t care. I know already that it will never come back. I stopped taking all medication at this point. All that extra acid that was going into me wasn’t needed.
An update on how I feel: I still don’t have any cravings at all, for sugar, carbs, anything. I feel an abundance of energy, I’m so productive now, all I want to do is learn and work out. There isn’t enough time in the day it seems. Time management ideas are more than welcome. The gym is easier, bones ache less, not even one stomach cramp or symptom of discomfort since January 2012. Considering I’d have pain every day for 6 years or more I’d say my results stand as testimony for anyone wishing to follow the ph miracle views on diet and lifestyle.
In the same year having reversed colitis and become med free, this was the year i cycled 150 miles from one coast to another in 4 days, and a few months later climbed Scafel Pike. It might not seem too impressive to some, but i hadn’t moved from the sofa for years until this point.
Who doesn’t want to feel better when they realise all their health problems can be improved by realising they are down to an over acidic lifestyle.
After cleansing I went back to juicing on a morning, salads made up my other meals, snacking on seeds and nuts and all things alkaline, avocados is always a favourite. This is how life is now for nutrition and health and abundance of energy. I just feel sorry for people with any similar digestive disorders who are given advice to keep taking the meds to ‘control’ the symptoms. And a bit later maybe we can operate to get part of your colon removed. That was advice given to me. I had been on strong medication for Ulcerative Colitis (total colitis as it was stated it was as bad as could be) and anti-depressant which id been on for 10 years. It took me 2 months to feel no pain and have no symptoms and get off medication! I’ve not taken any medication since. I would like to shout that last statement somewhere. People suffering should know this.

10 DAY ALKALINE Liquid CLEANSE
This is from my notes made in February 2012…
The rules I followed:
- 4 Litres of water per day, each with the juice of a full lemon
- 2 litres of water per day, each with a teaspoon of wheatgrass
- Dinner time (or Lunch if you are posh) was a green vegetable juiced drink (Spinach, cucumber, celery and lemon or lime, with water added.
- Tea time (or dinner if you are still posh) was another juice, or an avocado soup, blended avocados and onions and added to hot water with herbs and sea salt to taste.
- I also took 4 (Dr Robert O. Young’s) pHlush tablets with morning drink, and another 4 at both meal times. 12 in total. http://www.phoreveryoung.com or http://www.phmiracle.com
For Exercise I did 20 minutes bike ride per day. Couldn’t have done any more at this time.
Day 1
Was tough, headaches and eventually hunger that wouldn’t let up.
Day 2
Saturday was the worst day by far. Same as Friday, headaches and hunger but also what felt like flu symptoms, runny nose, feverish.
Day 3
Things improved with the earlier symptoms, though sadly the toilet symptoms arrived about 6pm. And never left again until the cleanse was over. I won’t go into these.
Day 4, 5 and 6
The best thing about from day 4 was I had no hunger at all, I was fine, sticking to the juices and waters. Wheatgrass is also a great appetite suppressant. I felt great.
Day 7
I really couldn’t face a vegetable juice drink on Thursday. I had my lemon waters and wheatgrass and decided against the juice. I decided I was fasting but all the while getting plenty fluids.
Day 8
I felt much the same as Day 7. Couldn’t face a juice, but I made one anyway as was worrying I wasn’t getting enough nutrients. But then I didn’t have my second of the day. Got weighed and had lost 9 lbs since I had started the cleanse, that wasn’t the goal, but was interesting to see.
Day 9
Because the previous 2 days i had faltered with the juicing, and I hadn’t stayed true to the rules of the cleanse, I started to feel very weak. And by about 1pm decided I was off the cleanse. I got myself some carrots and humus. It’s what I’d craved all week. I was so full after 2 carrots. Very odd. They tasted different to what i remembered. Felt weird eating at first.
Conclusion:
What I’ve taken from this most, is although I haven’t exactly enjoyed not eating, I have enjoyed having absolutely no IBD (colitis) pain or discomfort. And I think that is the first time in over 5 years that I could say that. My goal was to set me on the right path bringing my body back into pH balance, and I think I’ve made a pretty decent start. I didn’t make it to day ten, but even a 1 day cleanse is pretty good if you can manage that now and again. When I do it again maybe later in the year, I think I will plan for about 5 days cleansing.
Another thing, when I ate those carrots on Saturday, something I didn’t expect. I had to try some peppers later too and had the same results. My taste buds had changed in the week of experiencing nothing but alkaline food and drink. They were not being ruined by spoiled processed foods crammed with chemicals and sugars and i felt that i was getting the true taste of foods for the first time in a long time.
IBD – INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE… the ph miracle HEALING PLAN – JANUARY 2012
This is from my notes made in January 2012…
Firstly here is a breakdown of my dietary history:
- 20 years vegetarian. Too much dairy every day.
- 3 year’s vegan. A lot of bread/wheat, and cravings.
- 2 month’s raw vegan. Each day a salad, every time it’s different and enjoyable.
As it is early days i am still on my medication for ulcerative colitis, and i would love to be free of that as soon as i possibly can. I know how it was before the meds so I’m a bit wary, but i do have strong feelings that i can get to where i want to be.
These are the aims:
- To be medication free
- Pain/Discomfort free
- Energy Abundant
- Have an improved memory/concentration
- To help others do the same..
It is a work in progress, and I’m recording my progress here online. What i have found is my taste buds have changed. I crave things like carrots and humus, or cucumbers, or leafy salads with tahini dressings.
I have to say it’s a continual learning curve for me as i plan to improve and absorb everything in my path in this area, hopefully I can pass on some good information while I’m at it.
The most inspirational books I’ve read, and by far the best place to start are these 2:
Paul Nison – Healing Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which is the book that made me think this was achievable. This set my goals in motion.
Dr. Robert O. Young – The pH Miracle revised and updated which really goes in-depth into what causes disease in the body and what you can do to reverse it. www.phoreveryoung.com or http://www.phmiracle.com
I’m half way through a 10 day cleanse at the minute. Having followed the guidelines in the books I am already seeing results. I’m going to blog again on Monday to record how the time went and what I experienced.

The London Telegraph – Cleanse Your Body With Dr. Robert O. Young’s Alkaline Diet
Cleanse your body with the alkaline diet
Alkaline eating helps the body maintain healthy pH levels which improve digestion, skin tone and mood as well as weight loss. Natasha Corrett’s new book has a range of four cleanses with recipes to rebalance your body.
Five years ago, Natasha Corrett was overtired, overworked and unhappy with her weight. And when her back seized up in a stress-related spasm the day before her 26th birthday, she sought acupuncture treatment in a desperate effort to ‘‘un-knot’’ her in time for her party. What the gourmet cook didn’t expect was advice on food which would revolutionise her diet, lose two and a half stone “without noticing” – and find relief from the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome that had dogged her for years.
It was while she was having the needles inserted that the therapist told her about the benefits of an alkaline diet: one which avoids “acid forming foods” such as dairy, meat, sugar and coffee and replaces them with plant foods and wholegrains.
Now 31, Natasha is in radiant health and her series of best selling Honestly Healthy cook books, based on the principles of alkaline eating, have a big celebrity following – one fan is Victoria Beckham. The latest book, Honestly Healthy Cleanse, is launched this week and contains 100 meticulously tested new recipes that combine her alkaline diet principles with four “cleansing plans” to kick start a new eating regime.
Each detox is tailored to individual needs: the six-day slim down cleanse, for example, suggests a menu of raw salads with soups and smoothies, to inspire those New Year weight loss plans; while for those in search of something more ambitious, the 30-day life-changing cleanse is, she promises, a stepping stone to a new, healthier life.
‘’Once you’ve achieved the first 30 days, there will be no turning back,’’ shepromises, ‘’you will make definite lifestyle changes for the better as you’ll feel so energised and full of life.’’
Natasha, who is engaged to fitness guru Simon Bateman, 36, comes from a family who know about food. Her mother, interior designer Kelly Hoppen (actress Sienna Miller is her stepsister) was always a ‘’health freak’’, she says, and the fridge at home was full of ‘dairy-free milk and similar products.’
From her father Graham Corrett, a restaurateur, owner of fashionable Le Boudin Blanc in Mayfair, Natasha developed a fondness for good food, learning to cook at his restaurant during her school summerholidays. Like many of us, she admits she has always been torn between knowing what is ‘’good for you’’ and not wanting to deny herself a dish she enjoyed.
So what led to her passion for “the alkaline way?” ‘
’Five years ago,’’ she explains, ‘’I was always on the go, making and delivering fresh food for my company Fridge Fill, working hard but not making a living, and feeling tired all the time.’’ In addition, Natasha admits that being dissatisfied with her weight and years of yo yo dieting meant she was on the verge of an eating disorder. ‘’When I was at boarding school, it was fashionable to be really skinny and my weight fluctuated massively as I tried to fit in.’’
It was her mother who recommended the therapist specialising in Ayurvedic medicine as well as acupuncture. When he pointed out that Natasha’s whole system was out of balance, she was more than ready to listen.
‘’The therapist told me my body had become incredibly acidic from years and years of yo-yo dieting, even though I thought I was super-healthy being vegetarian and knocking back a green smoothie with spirulina every morning,” she says.
‘’He suggested my body was in such a toxic state from stress and overwork that there was no way it could absorb the nutrients I was consuming. He said I needed to do an alkaline cleanse.”
Claims as to the benefits of an alkaline diet are not new. Pioneered by an American biologist Dr Robert Young, the theory is that the digestive process causes foods to become either alkaline or acidic, as measured by their pH levels. The results are sometimes counter-intuitive: dairy for example becomes highly acidic when digested while lemons become alkaline..
Fans of alkaline eating maintain that while alkaline forming foods help the body maintain healthy pH levels, too much acidity does the opposite; and that sticking to an alkaline diet can help with weight loss and bloating as well as improving digestion, skin tone and mood. An acid based diet is blamed for diseases such as osteoporosis, heart problems, back pain and kidney stones.
‘’At first, I wasn’t sure I wanted to try this way of eating,” says Natasha. “I had promised myself I would never do another detox or diet, as I had become so obsessed with food, and felt so unhappy. I had sworn never to put myself through that misery again. But I was persuaded to try an alkaline cleanse for 21 days, and in the end, I just didn’t stop. I felt so well.’’
Gradually, the weight came off, while her symptoms of PCOS – acne, mood swings and bloating – disappeared as her hormones became more balanced. ‘’I look at old photos of me and can’t believe the difference.’’
Whether or not the theory holds up, much of the advice on alkaline eating chimes with official guidance on a healthy diet, Natasha advocates replacing acid forming foods with alkaline foods fruit, vegetables, pulses and wholegrains. Wheat is also considered acid forming, while almonds, garlic, olive oil and herbal teas are highly recommended.
As Natasha points out following this way of eating is mostly common sense and her delicious recipes prove it need not be painful. ‘’Think about eating as Mother Nature intended,” she advises. “Make your diet plant based, with lots of pulses and grains, although don’t eat too much fruit – certainly not on an empty stomach as that is very acid.’’
She recommends following the alkaline pattern of eating 70 percent of the week and then relaxing about the other 30 percent. “And if you can’t resist meat on a 30 per cent day, she says: ‘’Just be sure that all the meat you buy is organically and sustainably reared.’’
Exercise is also plays a large part in Natasha’s life and, she says, complements.
‘’When I’m feeling low or tired, a burst of activity just gets the ‘happy hormones’ (aka endorphins) pumping around my body, and in that state I find that I naturally reach for healthier foods. What’s more,research has shown that just eating healthy food can boost endorphins in the brain – so combine that with exercise and you’ll double the hit.’’
She blogs enthusiastically about the alkaline lifestyle, and runs occasional exclusive cookery classes, too. There’s also a recipe app, and Londoners can join the Honestly Healthy supper club. Naturally, both mother (for health) and father for (taste) approve of her venture. Best of all was a surprise endorsement from one of the UK’s leading chefs
Marcus Wareing who, Natasha was thrilled to learn, cooks from her books at home. ‘’Natasha has a really, creative, inventive and forward thinking attitude to food and cooking,’’ he says on the book’s cover.
‘’That was my Michelin star,’’ she says proudly.
‘’What’s important to me is how can we get to optimum health,” she adds. “It’s what is going on inside that matters, not about how you look. And if you follow a healthy diet, your skin will glow and the weight will drop off. But the food has to taste good too.’’

bloating
constipation
The Recipes
These recipes are high in alkalinity and low in acid. Ingredients can be sourced from organic supermarkets and online suppliers]
Acai smoothie
[Suitable for all cleanses]
I first fell in love with acai, a South American superfood, while travelling around Brazil, where I had the most amazing smoothies made from freshly frozen pulp. This smoothie is the next best thing. Throw in a few ice cubes and you will get a deliciously cold smoothie that will nourish your body with its supply of antioxidants and immune-boosters.
Serves 2
1 small banana (about 100g)
100g cucumber, peeled
3 tbsp acai powder
80g mango
bee pollen or raw cacao nibs [roasted cacao beans, broken into pieces] , to garnish (optional)
Put all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Serve either in a bowl or in a glass, with a garnish of bee pollen or raw cacao nibs for extra crunch. The smoothie is best drunk straight away, but you can always put it in a jar and take it out with you to drink as soon as you can during the day.
Cauliflower and pink peppercorn soup
[Suitable for all cleanses]
I love nothing more than a velvety soup to help cleanse my body from the inside out. Here, I use the umeboshi plum purée (a Japanese condiment) for its natural saltiness and its alkalinity. I also love to add nutritional yeast to this soup to give it a deeper flavour. I buy the brand that has added vitamin B12 as it can be hard to get adequate amounts of this vitamin on a vegetarian diet.
Serves 2–3
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 shallot, sliced
1 clove garlic, sliced
2 tsp sumac (a spice often used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking), plus extra to garnish
¼ tsp ground coriander
10 pink peppercorns, plus extra to garnish
5g oregano leaves, plus extra to garnish
250ml cold water
1 leek, chopped into 2.5–5cm chunks
1 whole cauliflower, chopped into 2.5–5cm chunks
800ml boiling water
½ tsp umeboshi plum purée
2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
In a medium-sized pan, heat the coconut oil and sauté the sliced shallot and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the sumac, ground coriander, pink peppercorns and oregano. Add the cold water, bring to the boil, then simmer for a further minute.
Add the leek and cauliflower pieces to the pan and be sure to stir well so all the flavours can mingle. Add the boiling water and leave to cook on a medium heat for about 10 minutes. You will know it’s ready as the cauliflower will start to break up into much smaller pieces and will be soft to the point of a knife.
Add the umeboshi plum purée and stir well. Transfer the contents of the pan to a blender and whizz until very smooth. If you are going to add the nutritional yeast stir it into the soup once it’s blended.
Serve the soup hot with a garnish of oregano and a sprinkle of sumac or a few pink peppercorns on top.
Carrot ‘noodles’ and avocado dressing
[Suitable for slimdown, high energy and life changing cleanses]
This wonderfully cleansing dish is incredibly alkalising too. The creaminess of the avocado dressing transforms a few humble ingredients into a delicious meal.
Serves 2
2–3 carrots, spiralised
2 ripe avocados, roughly chopped
juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp sweet miso
1 small clove garlic, grated
a pinch of Himalayan pink salt
½ small red onion, finely chopped
15g coriander, chopped
40g pea shoots
To garnish:
Tamari-toasted seeds (Tamari is essentially a gluten-free soy sauce)
finely grated zest of 1 lime
1 tbsp pumpkin oil
Place the carrots in a bowl.
Put the avocados, lemon juice, sweet miso, garlic and salt in a blender and blend until completely smooth.
Pour this dressing over the carrot ‘noodles’ and mix in – using your hands is best – then stir in the red onion and coriander.
Divide the pea shoots between 2 plates, add a pile of the ‘noodles’ on top, garnish with the tamari-toasted pumpkin seeds and lime zest and drizzle the pumpkin oil all over.
Spiced overnight oats
[Suitable for highenergy and lifechanging cleanses]
An oaty breakfast is a great way to start the day as oats release energy slowly, balancing blood sugar levels. If you can’t find Chinese pear, use half an apple and half a regular pear.
serves 2
60g Chinese pear (see above)
juice of ¼ lemon
80g gluten-free oats
¼ tsp ground allspice
10g goji berries
2 star anise
200ml rice milk
1 tbsp coconut oil
Chop the Chinese pear into thin slices about 2cm long and squeeze the lemon over them to prevent the fruit going brown. Then put the rest of the ingredients into a bowl, finishing off with the chopped Chinese pear. Mix together and leave overnight or for at least 2–3 hours. Divide between 2 bowls, discarding the star anise. If you’re eating alone, store the other serving in the fridge, where it will keep for up to 5 days.
Butterbean and butternut curry
[Suitable for highenergy and lifechanging cleanses]
This is quick to make and perfect if you’re having friends round for dinner. It’s now a staple in my house – all you need is some fresh herbs and a butternut squash to transform dried ingredients from your larder into this delicious meal.
serves 2
1 tsp coconut oil
½ white onion
1 clove garlic, grated
½ lemongrass stalk, bashed with a rolling pin
120ml water
400ml coconut milk
200g butternut squash, cut into 2cm cubes
250g butterbeans
20g coriander leaves
For the curry paste:
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp paprika
5cm piece of root ginger
2 tbsp brown rice vinegar
5g galangal [from the ginger family] (optional)
2 tbsp sesame oil
¼ tsp Himalayan pink
salt
finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
Put all the curry paste ingredients in a small food processor or blender and whizz until you get a nice chunky paste. Set aside.
Melt the coconut oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic for 1 minute. Tip in the curry paste along with the whole lemongrass stalk. Leave the sauce to bubble for a further 2 minutes, then add another 4 tablespoons of the water.
After another 2 minutes add the coconut milk and butternut squash and continue to cook for 5 minutes on a medium heat. Finally, stir in the butterbeans and half the coriander leaves and leave to simmer for a further 7 minutes. Test to see if the squash is cooked; if not, then simmer for another few minutes until totally tender.
Remove the lemongrass stalk before serving, and sprinkle the curry with the rest of the coriander. If you’d like your curry with some rice, then use a brown basmati or perhaps some quinoa on the side.
Tamari-toasted seeds
[Suitable for slimdown, highenergy and lifechanging cleanses]
Here’s my go-to recipe to transform a salad – also perfect as a snack. Packed full of protein, these little salty seeds are great for adding to any recipe.
serves 1 as a snack
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp tamari (Like soy sauce but wheat-free)
30g pumpkin seeds improving digestion, skin tone and moodimproving digestion, skin tone and mood
Put the sesame oil, tamari and pumpkin seeds in a pan on a medium heat and toast for 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
Quinoa, teff and almond bake
[Suitable for highenergy and lifechanging cleanses]
Quite often I find that the best recipes, like this one, arrive through a mistake. I decided to experiment with teff flour (a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour) expecting to create a more biscuit-like texture, but in fact ended up with a super-fluffy result, so this recipe became a bake. The mixture is also ridiculously healthy – with the whole grains as well as the omega fatty acids in the chia seeds.
80g quinoa
2 tbsp ground chiaseeds
6 tbsp cold water
130ml warm water
2 tbsp coconut oil
150g almond butter
100g coconut blossom syrup or agave syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
150g teff flour
1 heaped tsp bicarbonate of soda
finely grated zest of 1 orange
30g cacao nibs
1 tsp orange-flower water
raw walnuts and almonds, roughly chopped, for the topping (optional)
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Line a baking dish with baking parchment, or line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases if you prefer.
Cook the quinoa according to the packet instructions. Drain and leave to cool in a bowl.
Soak the ground chia seeds in the measured cold water for 10 minutes until you get a thick gloopy texture.
Put the warm water, coconut oil, almond butter, syrup, soaked chia seeds, vanilla and cooked quinoa into a blender and blend until fully mixed.
Sift the teff flour and the bicarbonate of soda into a largish bowl and add the zest and cacao nibs.
Now, stir in the wet mixture (from the blender) – it will be thick.
Scoop the mixture into the prepared baking dish, keeping it about 3cm thick. Pop the tray into a preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes.
The bake will be ready when a sharp knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Lift the bake out of the dish, using the parchment to help you, and transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle with the crushed nuts (if using) and drizzle with orange-flower water. Set aside to cool.
