Education And Health



Education & Health



Some Quotes (others corrected by me) from the video:


'There are so many subjects in school that i cannot relate to in terms of, ‘how can i apply this in my life?’ Of course there are some subjects that I can apply in my life, but how can i digest that when i have no basis to even look at 'who I am'? That’s the first - which is the start of every knowledge in this world. I have to make sense of who i am’.'

'Why is this not being given in school?'

'In the Psychology curriculum for example, we should have a subject on commonsense of ‘who I am’ here' .

'It's normally about what other people thought about in the past & what people wrote about that - that constitutes our knowledge and information'.

'With that salary you are getting - well in the Philippines, they are getting very low salary - it will stop you from looking and changing the system. My advise is not to let that stop you'

'For those teachers who receive small salary, what if you are being given a basic or living income, where for example you are being given $3000 a month and everyone else is receiving that, on top of that you can still teach (plus you are being paid for teaching, on top of the living income you receive every month), will that salary be low?'

Our value as humans is equal to the value of life. Who can top that? You can't top that. That is exactly who you are.

We are a part of that life that - that one life that we live here.

'Quoting this little bit of information from someone who you perceive as someone who's gonna change the system. No.'

'We can change the system from the roots. First we have to work with 'The Primary Principle of Life' - What Is Best For All Of Us.'

The 6th Grader Attending My Cooking Class: The School System and Food

21 Days Mind Investigation on Sugar
Physical  Support
Awareness of How Much Sugar We Take: The Sugar Log Project


It was a Thai themed cooking class yesterday (July 11, 2014) in a clubhouse here in Dallas. I started this cooking class 2 Fridays ago.  My other cooking class had been going on for about a year now but i did not have any  mom and child team attending



There's a mom and child team that attended my class yesterday and I saw myself as a teacher (cooking class teacher), a health coach, a mom and as a child in them..I will write about that in my other blogs.

After investigation, I found out the mom attended because her daughter wanted to attend to learn how to cook. She was taking notes and was eager to volunteer when I asked who wanted to prepare food first.



I asked her what she's learning in school regarding what to eat in terms of desserts and she said that she's being told to eat fruits. I then asked what she's learning in school regarding drinks and she said she is being told to drink water.

This is the change in the way we teach our students what to eat, from candies and sodas to fruits, which is not really 'good or bad' but rather information thrown to our kids by us - the teachers (parents at home and in school). The school, together with the government sponsors such program - reinforced by the media. We sit watching tv at home listening to advertisements talking about how good this program is with our kids.

I would question the amount of fruits eaten by kids and the starting point for eating fruits. If I eat sweets to entertain myself because I am bored and I want to feel good, and I eat fruits for the same reason, this is the same fear pattern - but the fear pattern is not being stopped.

Example Mind Patterns:

> I am bored 
> I like to entertain myself with food
>I like to have soda
> My teacher said I have to eat fruits
> because it is healthier
> let me eat fruits

> I am bored
> I like to entertain myself with food
> I like to have soda
> let me enjoy this

This is changing the kind of entertainment we are giving our kids. This is NOT assisting them like we assist ourselves - by logging our food daily, being aware of how the body experience them and changing ourselves to act as an example to our kids. We have to change the starting point of the  mind pattern and the behavior pattern to align to what is mutually beneficial to all.

This kind of information that i hear and read from the media is where i based my beliefs about fruits and what drove me from vegetarianism to fruitarianism,

Fruits are food. They are here to provide nutrition for our body. We have to have information on the nutrition that is in each fruit we eat, and test if it agrees with our body.
