Johnny Papaya, a grade school teacher and owner of a papaya plantation in Sarasota, Florida, recently reported to PPNF that an alarming percentage of his students are afflicted with allergies and other degenerative health problems.
“For more than twenty years now I have watched America change through its children. Children are a reflection of their parents and of their homes. I have seen them go from students to just children in school,” Papaya stated.
“Bad nutrition is another problem at the root of under-achievement. Parents have fed their young ones junk foods. Mothers and fathers drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. Too often, there is not even a cessation of such practices during gestation,” he continues.
In going through the medical records of his sixth, seventh and eighth grade classes, Papaya stated that thirty-one percent of his sixth graders had allergies! Similarly, seventh graders recorded thirty-one percent with allergies and forty-five percent of his eighth graders had allergies. These figures only represent children with allergies. Following is a sample medical report from his eighth grade class. Only the gender of the children has been cited.
