We are thrilled that UCLA has prioritized
the goals expressed in the Healthy Campus Initiative. ASUCLA has expressed an unwavering
commitment to these goals of healthy, fresh and tasty food, available for those
of us who frequent Lu Valle Commons.
During the 2012-2013 school year, a survey by the law school’s student government showed that the hundreds who work and study at the law school wanted healthier, fresher and better-tasting food options available at Lu Valle (we refer to all food offerings in the Jimmy’s Coffee House/Lu Valle complex). This information was presented to ASUCLA, which agreed that changes should be made. ASUCLA stated that the entire facility would be revamped, similar to what was done at the North Campus Student Center. We were told this would happen over the summer of 2013.
Unfortunately, the summer of 2013 came and went without any significant changes. This year, a representative of the Food Law Society met with ASUCLA to request a status update and was told that Lu Valle renovations no longer have a firm timeline and the menus will not be changing until complete renovations occur.
We understand that ASUCLA must balance the needs of everyone who frequents Lu Valle along with the needs of the broader campus community, and this has resulted in some delays. However, considering the goals of the Healthy Campus Initiative and the law school’s recent addition of the Resnick Program for Food Law and Policy, we are disheartened that we at the law school have seen no progress in our own backyard.
Eating fresh, healthy and delicious food as a law student or member of the law school faculty or staff is not an easy choice. It’s a difficult choice.
We want to be a healthy community. We request immediate action regarding this goal, a goal shared by the undersigned students, faculty and staff at the law school.
·Request 1: We request an updated, concrete timeline commitment for the implementation of the Healthy Campus Initiative at Lu Valle.
·Request 2: We request immediate steps to make more healthy options available to the law school faculty, staff and students.
We value the partnership between ASUCLA and the broader campus to make UCLA a healthy place to study and work. We hope these shared values will enable this letter to be seen as another attempt to keep communication channels open because our attempts at dialogue have not effectively addressed our concerns.
We at the Food Law Society eagerly await your response, which we will share with the signatories and the wider law school community.
With either the willfully blind approval or the willful ignorance of the judiciary the right has killed & stolen several of my pets and routinely shoot energy weaponry at me and my pet. Recent harm to animals include: two kittens from a pregnant stray i took in were killed a few hours ago. They shot the eye out or removed the eye of a large really good natured stray at the port, hobbled another cat at the port, shooting it with energy weaponry, and routinely kill and leave dead animals in my path. A few years ago one of them threatened, prophetic, ‘we’ll just kill a cat every so often’, in so many words. This has continued despite my calls to the police, the FBI, Congress, and my petitions in court. In the usual case, it appears that the right goes to a judicial crony for a ruling permitting them to harm animals to retaliate against me for my free speech. There’s no serious argument but that they interfered with my personal life and economic options for 3 decades, so their solution to my noting it is to kill animals. Makes perfect sense right? It does if you’re virtually sociopathic and hawkish. Invariably their lies are exposed and the wrongfulness of the harm is clear to everyone, though not until the animals have been maimed or killed. There is really only one solution, and that’s to disempower them politically.
Typically operating through Puppets–including puppets in the judiciary–the right wing has for decades been committing crimes and trying to classify them to cover them up, a move explicitly forbidden by the Code of Federal Regulations. The right has accomplished its political objectives by presenting a fraction of the evidence to judicial officials who, having seen the pattern dozens of times before, could not help but realize that they were being presented with incomplete and inaccurate information.
If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth, right? the Democrats’ great accomplishment is producing the political equivalent of a Rodney King video, clearly demonstrating the lies of the right, the right Hilary Clinton correctly identified as a vast conspiracy. Confirm by examining Central District of California Cases, 01-4340, 03-9097, 08-5515, 10-5193, US Tax Court 12000-07L –though I think you want to view my US Tax Court Appeal to the 9th Circuit for a good account of their day to day assaults, a few month time slice indicative of a decade of assault, and 9th Circuit case 11-56043.
