Frankly I wouldn’t mind straight vegan but I know there would be some objections to that one.
Not eating meat is wrong. Wrong for kids most of all. Nothing wrong with meat industry. People are fools.
NO. You are wrong.

Best idea. No kid would be without food. Kids who have an incomplete packed lunch could grab a milk or apple if they want. It would create way less food waste, be cheaper, and be healthier that the current variety of offering.
And kids who were previously only getting vegetables and hot food at school just don't get them anywhere?
Funny how they aren't suggesting vegetables. This is a lazy parent who only packs a nut butter sandwich, with no veggies, no nothing. And, they shouldn't be having whole milk after age 2.
Not suggestions vegetables bc they are mostly wasted. It isn’t the schools job to make up for poor parenting. School should provide something nutritious to those that are unable to bring a nutritious lunch- but it isn't the schools’s responsibility to give your kid a days worth of food. Send your child with vegetables they will eat.
On the flip side, children do not deserve to be punished with bad nutrition because they have bad parents. It’s not like the kid chose to be raised in poverty and without vegetables.
School lunch doesn’t need to be every single food group. Serve a couple things that would provide the most nutrition and have the highest likelihood of being eaten. It isn’t punishing anyone to not serve celery sticks at school lunch

Meat is good for you.
The question is why are they serving products with soy proteins
+1 I would much rather our children eat meat than soy.
Soy is the PERFECT protein source and children should be eating soy every day <3
Soy every day for pre-pubescent kids?

Increase obesity in children: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35276781/
etc.
I can't believe you're buying into the lies of big medicine. The meat industry hates soy. We know that plant-based is better!
Love and light <3
Everyone hates soy boys, not just the meat industry

They can have hot food and vegetables at home. Majority of obese kids are the low income kids. They are getting fed. School’s hot lunch and celery sticks (that that aren’t eating anyway) are not making up for a nutritional deficit. They are only adding to the processed food the kids are already getting plenty of

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.

Well said.

Neat. Well, feed your kids soy. The rest of us aren't going to and neither are public schools.
Although judging by your heart emoji, I assume you're a bored 15-year-old trolling DCUM on a weekend and not actually a parent..

So what? Most people CAN be vegan, and most kids should be (at least in public schools).
Most kids do not have a peanut allergy so you let most eat peanut butter but provide a nut free table.
You know the vast majority of Americans eat meat, will continue to eat meat and that public school.lunches are not going to go vegetarian/vegan no matter how much you whine on the internet, right?
