[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

No, "we" don't "know" that the meat industry is inherently bad, OP.  You, on the other hand, seem to be guided by strange opinions masquerading as facts.

Most kids need to be eating more meat, not less. It is extremely difficult to get enough protein into kids (or anyone, for that matter) on a strictly plant-based diet, as the iron and other nutrients are not as bioavailable.

I want my kids to be strong and healthy. They will continue to eat meat, and yes, schools should be providing it.

+1 PREACH!

This “meat is bad” nonsense going around these days reminds me of the older, and also mistaken, ideas that eggs were bad for cholesterol and fat was evil. There are some perfectly valid questions to be asked about the state of CAFO’s and other large-scale  commercial animal production setups, but that does not equal “meat is bad.” [b]It’s literally why we possess larger brains[/b].[/quote]

Right here. Meat is not bad. TOO MUCH meat is bad. Just like everything else, it's about moderation.

The increase in homo sapien brains coincided directly with our species' transition to eating meat. You have the internet now because your ancestors ate meat. So thank a burger. [/quote]

You're going to have to provide a citation for that.[/quote]
