Let them eat fish!
Government slaves’ rations
My family eats meat on most days, but not necessarily everyday.
“John Crowley, who heads childhood nutrition services for the Hays County district, said the program is intended to encourage healthy and environmentally conscientious eating”
And this isnt the way to go about it.
How many wastes government salaries is this costing us?
It's okay to offer a meat-free dish as an option, but forcing kids to bring food from home if they want a meat dish on a particular day is bad in principle and may be unconstitutional. Local taxpayers fund those schools and most of those taxpayers want their kids to have meat in their diet.
Note that the secular left chooses Monday, a day when abstinence from meat was never enjoined in Christian tradition, rather than Friday or Wednesday (we Orthodox lay off meat on both — Wednesday in commemoration of Our Lord’s unjust arrest, Friday in commemoration of His Saving Crucifixion — leaving aside some celebratory feasting periods and the week after the Sunday when the Gospel reading is that of the Pharisee and the Publican, when *not* fasting is a matter of ascetic practice).
This whole topic is getting ridiculous.
MAKE YOUR OWN KID’S LUNCH and stop complaining.
I went to this elementary school in the fifties. There was one class for each grade 1-12 and no more than about 25 kids in each class. My sister was in the 11th grade and it had 12 kids. Nobody had even heard of kindergarten back then as far as I can remember.
Nowadays, there are more schools in the Dripping Springs area than I can count. The population must be 20-30 times what it was back then.
Cookies, cake and ice cream are meatless!
