[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you going to serve instead that most kids will eat? Give me a 5 day sample menu. [/quote]

I'm still waiting on the sample menu...[/quote]

I was hoping to see this as well. I was also hoping to see some acknowledgment of the fact that many students, particularly older students who are POC may be lactose intolerant, so when you leave out meat, minimize dairy, and go peanut free, and have extremely low and restricted budgets as well as kitchens that are often set up to heat food rather than to prepare it from scratch, menus of meals that students will actually eat and that meet nutritional standards might be a challenge. This would be an even more difficult challenge if we can agree that white flour, hydrogenated oils, and large amounts of sugars and sodium should also be minimized.

So: waiting.

Its easy enough to do but most kids will not eat it.  There are lots of veggie substitutes.  [/quote]

Which is why my list included “ meals that students will actually eat”.  If the goal is “health”, trying to feed kids highly processed meat substitutes is not a rational goal, or likely to be an effective one — as you, yourself point out.  
So is the goal animal rights? At a considerable cost to the health and well-being of human students?  Something else? [/quote]
