Next year they will be raising crickets to go with their greens.

Fifth-grader turned part-time gardener Emma Leyson is showing off her greens on Muse School’s campus.
“This is the strawberry plant I planted,†Leyson told CBS2’s Stephanie Simmons.
Thought to be the first of its kind in the country, the school recently adopted an all-vegan lunch menu. As part of their curriculum, the students learn how to create food from seed to table.

Paul Hudak, who runs the program at Muse, works closely with the school’s master chef to prepare a variety of vegan choices for the kids.

Before rolling out the new menu this school year, the staff held lectures and seminars to educate parents. Ultimately, the school decided going all-vegan was the right choice.
No off-site food is allowed onto campus, everything served is plant-based, and the school believes this process educates kids on health and making better food choices.
“It was difficult for some parents,†said Jeff King, head of Muse School. “There’s a lot of myths around brain development and animal protein. There’s a lot of misinformation about meat and dairy products.â€

Um, kids that age need good nutrition for optimal brain development. I hope they are getting decent nutrition at home, since they clearly are not getting it at school.
We’re not rabbits.
Sorry, but us hunter types just cannot pass this up.
Hitler was a Vegan.
Pagan Occultist, too.
He’d fit right in.
Next year they will be raising crickets to go with their greens.
Schools should not be indoctrinating children this way. It’s up to parents to decide what lifestyle their children will adopt. This is more Leftist clap-trap. They can’t teach our kids properly, but they can invade their space to socially engineer them.
I am dead set against this.
I’m not against a vegetarian diet, if that’s what adults or parents opt for.
If they do, they need to do it in an intelligent way. They need to study up on it and make sure kids are getting good nutrition. Meat is not a must.
Vegetarians and those who refrain from drinking liquor do live longer. Studies have found this.
I believe the Vegan approach is dead set wrong. Milk, cheeses, and other animal produced products do not harm the animal. Refraining from them, closes off one way of replacing lost nutrition from going meatless.
I think that is a mistake, but I’m not a dietary expert either, so it’s just my opinion.
There is a fad these days who can be the best “friend of the planet”, and of course animals are big methane problems, so some Leftists swear off anything to do with animals.
S T U P I D > IMO
If someone has a dietary problem with milk or cheeses, of course they should avoid them. People who don’t have a medical reason, should partake of these things to complete a balanced diet.
The kids will learn about rickets, too, and maybe beri-beri, if their reduced intellects can understand.
this thread makes me hungry for a Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse steak.
It’s like they took centuries of progress since the Agricultural Revolution and flushed it down the drain.
Our ancestors would be tearing their hair oit, they’d dream to have the food supply we have.
I consider this all part of keeping the population very dumbed down so the elite can rule because they can afford the best education and diets. It is very hard to get adequate nutritional requirements from a vegan diet as an adult so this diet is horrible for a growing child.
I predict a healthy black market in meats will soon arise.
Personally, I’d be smuggling in real food every day were I a student there.
Brainwashing. Vegan diets are NOT healthy.
They’ll be stunting their growth and knocking 20 years off their life expectancy.
A Local school in Marin CIty CA..a Housing Project section of Sausalito CA is the first school in the Nation feeding students with 100 percent Organic Food. rather bizarre I have to say!
Muse is a very hippie/granola school founded by an environmental activist. So, I’m not surprised they have gone down this path. It’s a private school (and a very expensive one at that)*, so it’s their business how they want to run their lunch program. But I sure wouldn’t want to send my kids (if I had any) there.

If that's a BLT, it looks like they "held" the lettuce and tomatoes.
(It reminds me of that old Burger King commercial, "Hold the pickles hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us...".)
No great loss. They are going to hate us, regardless. Might as well raise them as dim little cattle, since we can't do anything else with them.
