Because she has functioning taste buds.

Did ou know that it is not mandatory for your kid to eat the school lunch? She can bring her own.

Also, did you know that APS has not banned pork products? Staggering, I know.

Happy to provide this PSA to the chronic dumbasses among us.

Because it's unhealthy and because of the Jewish and Muslim kids (Hindus also don't eat pork, or much meat for that matter nor do Seventh-day Adventists nor Ethiopian Christians, but I doubt APS cares about those 3).

it has nothing to do with healthy or unhealthy. Pork products aren't unhealthy per se and there are plenty of other non-healthy foods on there.

It simply has to do with not offending Jews and Muslims.

This. It might very well be the case that APS doesn't serve pork because of Jews, but the vast majority of Jews--perhaps all--wouldn't care if they did serve it.

Chinese mainly eat pork, yes they can bring their own lunch, but it's not as convenient as buying a hot lunch at home. Ban pork for religious reasons? then shouldn't beef be banned too? Why can't they have 2 different menus.

Not true. Food poisoning is much more likely to be caused by vegetables.

I like your style. And I like the kid's style.

They should just cut out meat altogether.

They already effectively do have two different menus because every day has a vegetarian option as well as a meat-based option (which also provides an alternative for those who don't eat beef). But that aside, you're talking about a preference as opposed to a religious mandate. Just because culturally someone might prefer pork doesn't mean they can't eat something else.
