Campbells.
:53:02
Meatballs?
:53:03
Comes in a box.
You heat it up.
:53:05
Out of the course
of an entire month,
:53:07
6 out of 36.
:53:10
You're only cooking
6 out of 36 meals?
:53:12
Appleton central
alternative high school
:53:16
is filled with students who have
truancy and behavioral problems.
:53:18
But they've turned
things around --
:53:20
not through discipline,
but through diet.
:53:23
We were fortunate
to kind of stumble across
:53:26
this healthy program
as a result of some contact
:53:29
with natural oven and bakery
of Manitowoc Wisconsin,
:53:33
and they believe
in low-fat, low-sugar,
:53:37
non-chemically processed foods
:53:40
that are free of dyes
and preservatives,
:53:42
full of whole grains,
:53:45
a lot of fresh fruits
and vegetables.
:53:48
We do no beef here at all,
:53:49
and then it's the method
of preparation,
:53:51
where we don't fry.
:53:53
A lot of baking
and then just fresh preparation,
:53:55
as opposed to opening cans
:53:57
or thawing things out
from the box.
:53:59
We got rid of candy machines,
soda machines,
:54:02
brought in bottled water,
and it was just a situation
:54:05
where we saw a major change in the kids.
:54:08
If you walk through these halls,
and you're here,
:54:10
these do not look like at-risk,
out-of-control kids.
:54:13
Their behaviors are better.
:54:15
They seem to be more focused.
:54:17
Teachers will tell you
:54:18
that they get more
out of them in the class.
:54:21
Keep in mind,
this is not a private school.
:54:24
These are the "trouble kids"
of the public school system
:54:27
in Appleton, Wisconsin,
that are eating so well.
:54:30
and it costs about the same
:54:31
as any other
school lunch program.
:54:34
So my question is --
why isn't everyone doing this?
:54:37
There's an awful lot
of resistance
:54:39
from the junk food companies
:54:41
that make huge profits off
schools at the present time.
:54:43
They don't want to get kicked
out of the school system.
:54:46
They want to be there
to addict the children for life.
:54:50
The soft drink companies,
especially, boast about
:54:52
how they're contributing
to America's education,
:54:54
but, in fact, what they're doing
:54:55
is they're draining money
from the community
:54:57
rather than contributing money
to the community
:54:59
because the soft drink companies
