We know that the meat industry is inherently bad and more expensive. Why are we spending all of this money on school lunches (in a normal year) promoting bad eating habits?
Frankly I wouldn’t mind straight vegan but I know there would be some objections to that one. |

| The meat industry is subsidized by thrr Ed gift snd feeding more people meat helps the economy. |

| Because the meat and dairy industries lobby USDA both to buy their products to sell in schools and make nutrition guidelines for schools contain meat and dairy. |

Maybe because only approximately 1 in 200 children in the US are vegetarian.

Who care about the economy. It’s not the font of morality. The economy likes plenty of bad things like landlords. |

But lets be fair, taking away meat from poor kids is pretty evil to so the OP scored some demon points for this;

Okay I’m vegan and not vegetarian but she has a point. We know a meat free or less meat diet is healthier. We can change this numbers so more kids will grow up vegetarian. We need to model healthy behavior. |

No, but I only rarely eat animal products from the farmer’s market when I know where they came from. |
