Started in Baltimore...now Miami...simply defeating the incumbent government will not do it for us; the entire culture has got to be restored after 40 years of propaganda.

She could always pack her own brussel sprouts and beano. However, that would require effort on her part.

While the Miami-Dade school district has long offered vegetarian items, it debuted three new vegan options this year: faux chicken nuggets, veggie burgers and hummus platters.

Processed foodstuffs to resemble meat.

and a plate of hummus with bread.

None of THIS is a healthy lunch either.

I don’t see any problem with this. If they were going all vegan or vegetarian, I would. But, if there is a demand among student for vegan/vegetarian items, I think it is good for the schools to respond to it.

I went to a school 20 plus years ago that only served soy...no meat. Of course, they did it to save money, not because a small minority of students thought meat was icky.

Soy tacos are disgusting. Soy hamburgers are disgusting. I learned at 10 to stay away from soy as the primary ingredient in my meals.

I say the food is the food, eat it or don’t. Bring your own tofu/halal/sushi/etc from home.

Easy fix...parents should start packing a lunch for the kids, and let the lunchroom go broke throwing out spoiled, uneaten, food.

The People ALWAYS will have the ultimate power to change things...Government by the people has been the most successful form of government in history...because...it WORKS.

I have no problem with them offering vegetarian options.

When I was in junior high, peanut butter and jelly qualified as vegetarian.

Uh, what exactly is wrong with providing vegetarian alternatives in school cafeterias? Vegetarianism is a choice that many people make for a variety of reasons - religious, ethical, health, etc. It doesn’t hurt anyone else and doesn’t really make excesive demands of school cafeteria, IMO.

I say the above as someone who doesn’t mind some vegetarian fare, but still likes meat and seafood.

Do I see a knee jerk here, that the kids must of necessity be under the thumb of a gummit indoctrination land in order to want these things available?

Especially if they turn out to cost less for the same nutrition, as many lacto-ovo vegetarian items do?

I was by no means shy of meat as such, but I hated hamburger pizza with a passion, and tons of it got wasted when it was put on my plate whether I could stand it or not.

First, cut out play time and physical exercise periods.

Second, stop feeding them protein.

Third, teach them to “fist” and spit or swallow while despising books, math and science.

Finally, wait until their parents are old enough to kill off with 0bamacare and enslave them and their offspring forever.

If people have abnormal diets, they should bring their own damn lunch. I fail to see why public schools should cater to every dietary demand of every random kid.
