Goodbye cheese, hello chickpeas.
In keeping with Mayor Eric Adams’ focus on fitness, the nation’s largest school system will serve vegan-only meals every Friday starting this week throughout the academic year.

The DOE will still offer kids milk on Fridays because it must be provided per FDA guidelines.

Other vegan options will include seasoned broccoli salad, spinach and cranberry salad, and roasted cauliflower.

I wonder if you can order pizza like Spicoli did, lol.
The elites are pushing for us lowlifes to eat dirt and grass in the gutters while they enjoy Wagyu beef served on diamond platters.
Screw them.
When they put us in the camps, all we will get is watery cabbage soup.
Looks like Mayor Adams is going the commie route that most modern Democrats love - We know what’s best for you, so just shut up and let us manage your lives.
So PBJ Fridays?
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Scratch a vegan and totalitarian blood flows.
Guess kids don’t need protein (it’s almost impossible to replicate the amount received from meat and fish with vegetables).
And okie dokie. Mayor Adams and the entire DOE should also have the same exact meal served to them...From the schools’ cafeterias. The same exact meal. No other options.
When my father worked in the USA for a year, I went to a public school.
We keep kosher.
I brown bagged it every day.
Not hard.
If it were science based that would be another thing. But the studies I’ve seen show pescatarians living longer than vegans (or strict vegetarians). Nothing wrong with salmon everyday (which I do), nevermind once a week.
Is the Mayor Catholic?
Jee Heon A told the commission of her time in a North Korean prison. She was sent there after being repatriated from China. She befriended a young girl, named Kim Young Hee and became like a sister to her. While they were forced to work in the fields, they were looking for a type of grass to eat, as their prison rations were not enough.
“We finished our work and we were about to pick up this grass or the plant that we knew we could eat,” Jee told the commission. “And then the guards saw us, and he came running and he stepped on our hands and then he brought us to this place and he told us to kneel.”
They were forced to eat the grass along with the root and the soil as punishment. Kim became increasingly sick with diarrhea after eating the soil.
“There was nothing I could do,” Jee said. “I could not give her any medicine. And when she died, she couldn’t even close her eyes. She died with her eyes open. I cried my heart out.”
What is the point? Non-vegans will probably hate it. It doesn’t really help vegans either. What, are they just supposed to go hungry Mon - Thur? Weird half measure.
As a retired NYC teacher, I’ll tell you exactly what will happen. Either the kids will run over to the nearest fast-food restaurant or they will satisfy their hunger by lining up at the snack vending machines. As for the “nutritious and appealing meals” they should be getting at the cafeteria counter, most of it ends up in the rolling garbage cans scattered around the cafeteria. In the old days, it was actually cooked in the cafeteria. For the past couple of decades, it’s all nuked pre-packed frozen portions. The kids are probably getting just as much nutrition at the local Mickey D’s.
Go-hungry Fridays for (normal) NYC school kids.
Just like similar misguided attempts in the past, I project NYC school system needs to obtain more trash receptacles for the food discarded by the students.
Goodbye cheese, hello chickpeas.
In keeping with Mayor Eric Adams’ focus on fitness...

Substituting chickpeas for cheese removes protein and fat (fat needed to build brain cells, BTW) and substitutes a high carbohydrate food, contributing to obesity.
The number of trash cans at NYC schools better be doubled.................
