Barbara Stitt's Legacy: A Food-Behavior Connection

This is a Legacy being Made in Barbara's Own Time- And it Continues

by Carmel Aaron

Could you ever in your wildest dreams imagine that food and nutrition could have an impact on behavior. I mean that it could actually make the difference between having a happy healthy life or being a convicted criminal. That's quite a difference. Of course most of us fall somewhere in between these two very different extremes.

Please read on to see if you find the proof you need to believe this statement

Barbara and Paul Stitt gave of themselves They put their money where there mouths were. They began to lead the way in showing us how to care for our children in a loving and nutritional way.

Recently Barbara was kind enough to spend quite a bit of her time talking with me, and gave me a great interview. Here's just some of what we covered:

Barbara Reed Stitt's (PhD), life has been exemplary. She is a former Chief Probation officer, former President and Co-owner of Natural Ovens Bakery (sold in 2007), the Author of Food & Behavior-A Natural Connection; Nutritional Guidelines for Correcting Behavior, Impact of Fresh Healthy Foods on Learning and Behavior (DVD) and Roadmap to Healthy Foods in Schools. (This is a guide for schools to improve children's lives, health and learning ability.) I'd say she has quite a legacy behind her, and she is still actively promoting healthy foods and good nutrition in schools.

One additional thing I would like to mention as I learned in her interview is: she has just received a Life time Achievement award from the Community Addiction Recovery Association (CARA) in Sacramento, CA. By applying the same formula in working with people with addictions, over a 10 year period of time they had an 87% success rate - providing a savings for the Sacramento County of $20,000,000. This did more than save money. The health and nutrition program also saved lives.

Do you believe that eating healthy is not cost effective? Do you feel that it is too expensive? I beg to differ with you. Evidently CARA does too. So do the schools and the children in the schools that have implemented the Stitt's Nutritional program.

The Appleton, WI Alternative School program is featured in the movie "Super Size Me". After implementing this program the school's administrator reported zero dropouts, expulsions, vandalism, drugs, weapons and suicides. That is a huge savings in money, but the saving is so much more than financial. Their students are healthier, happier and capable of focusing, learning and getting along better with their families, classmates and their teachers. Isn't this what we want for our children?

If you need a program to use as a guide, click on the Big Arrows to see a program that gets fantastic results.

Wow, do you think this just might help our children to have a real future?
