Is it worth educating about food to youngsters?

School season has come and gone and this teacher has turned the educational attitude up. Is it really worth it to just try to tell 16 years of broccolli and chives are not the same, just because they both are green? Granted, it can be a burden to have to repeat the most basic things over and over a school year through. It is not for today's youth, to listen for hours. They´re surfing porn rather than recipes online and they're in the middle of a rebellion against all adults. In addition to the students at our school neither God's best or worst children, they often have more important things than the history of Italian cuisine to worry about. And here lies the gift of a teacher, to meet the pupils a day without having to expect anything and be continually amazed at their immediacy and sudden engagement. A commitment through out the year that becomes both routine and independent initiatives.
On a broader level, it should give the reason valve serious consideration of our values. The example of students who do not know the diference on cauliflower and broccolli are not fictional. It belongs to the exception that we get students who have had their time in a vegetable garden or can split a chicken in 10 parts without being disgusted. It is not inside the children we must find the problem, they are simply the result of the last 50-60 years of impoverishment of our food and culture.
A culture, no longer received in our homes, but then at least in Food Temples around?


These Food Temples that appear in magazines and food programs, must surely carry the torch high. Here we can surely look for when our own knowledge is gone.


No, actually, it´s the other way around; they feed on the deroute. We´re at a level  where we even in restaurants are presented to the Spanish fritatta and a tapas kitchen witch is closed. Maybe not two obvious examples, explanation, comes here. Frittata is an Italian egg dish (and not Spanish, though Wikipedia claims it), but not everyone knows this. But do restaurants not keep a straight and high level of iformation,are the cosumers really screwed.
The example of tapas kitchen has closed, is even more serious.

 
Tapas are Spanish bar snacks, finger food. These are very simple dishes such as tortilla, chili sausage, sardines in vinegar; this sort. The commen factor with these dishes is precisely that they are ready to be served from disk. The guest chooses his favorites, the bartender serves. A tapas cuisine can not close because there is talk about food is already finished. This is what Danish retaurants meets with their guests,; misinformation. In addition to long waits, uneducated servant staff and uncoordinated delivery of food, those kind of things. Restaurants that should be examples for their guests, obscene instead of welcoming guests and makeing them even have to pay for it. This summer had agricultural organizations even the audacity to propose that we as a state, supported this indebted industrial economy. And yet, at the sam time, with the Danish government has been dragged to the EU law, on charges of providing illegal fallow support 750.000000. Similar audacity you have known since inventing some prejudices about Italians and Greeks, to match. No, the Danish agriculture has wagered and lost. Masseprodution is not viable in a country the size of Denmark and should soon be settled in favor of organic farming. With agriculture's greed and lack of willingness to involve the surrounding community, it has lost. 3%, this is the first farmers work souls back total workforce. In the worst "hit the fringe" municipalities, agriculture is the dominant activity. the creation of our food is distanced in a way never seen before.

The end is near and therefore calms the answer also ligefor; we must break this death spiral for the Danish food culture by inventing it. We import food as never before, we finished eating cooked food like never before, we lie we buy organic and industrial chicken like never before. We must keep up with. Our children and youth need adults to show good examples to think about this. As responsible for ourselves and our children, we should consider how many cases of allergies, diabetes and obesity we will find from our creator.
