- The (lofty) mission of the MUSE School
*****
MUSE school is located in the city of Calabasas, California, a few miles
northwest of Los Angeles in the Santa Monica mountains. If I had it to do
all over again, I would make the area my home and my three daughters would
be attending the Muse school.
In April, Dr. Michael Klaper will be the keynote speaker in an assembly
explaining the benefits of eating a plant-based diet to kindergarten through
eighth grade students attending the MUSE school.
MUSE educators write:
Our school is a seedbed for innovative practices and programs... MUSE is a high-performance learning lab that demonstrates eco-literacy and serves as a beacon of sustainable living and design. We are committed to restoring and celebrating nature and to serving as a champion of everything green.
This coming September, MUSE will officially become the first school in
America serving a full menu of various plant-based foods to the children
fortunate to attend.
In 2014, they began a transition from the standard American diet to a
vegetarian one. The kids ate dairy. That will be no more. Beginning
September, it's all vegan.
Meatless Mondays will become Meatless Mondays through Fridays.
MUSE grows 200 varieties of their own organic lettuce. Children will be in
salad heaven.
MUSE was founded by Suzy Cameron, wife of James Cameron who wrote, produced,
and directed the blockbuster movie, Avatar. Cameron's roots in science
fiction morphed from a disastrous future for mankind in The Terminator to an
idyllic existence in Avatar. The Muse school and its vegan cafeteria reflect
the first spiritual application of an Avatar-like Garden of Eden in the
twenty-first century.
I am thoroughly a mused!
Somewhere in Topeka, a girl named Dorothy will eat typical middle-American
school lunches of pork and pizza and click together the heels of her red
Jimmy Choos to discover she has a case of advanced heart disease like her
fellow classmates before becoming a teenager. And somewhere over the
rainbow, evolves a lifestyle free of the diseases plaguing most Americans.
