[QUOTE="john250, post: 702481, member: 4406"] [i]The Baltimore City Public Schools system on Wednesday became the first in the United States to pledge to serve no meat on Mondays, according to the organization behind the campaign called Meatless Monday. The move means 80,000 students have no meat option on Mondays. Next Monday, the menu offerings, as posted on the school district's Web site, are limited to an entrée selection of mini ravioli or grilled cheese and a side selection including mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes and fresh fruit. In a press release, the group, an affiliate of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said it presented Baltimore school officials its [color=#FF0000]2009 Award for Visionary Leadership in Local Food Procurement and Food Education[/color].[/i] I don't know what to make of this, because 80,000 hamburgers makes no difference in the supply/demand equation. I just don't like the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. Mike Bloomberg is a very scary guy who has essentially purchased the brand "Johns Hopkins U" for a backstop to his personal opinions about OUR business. I just heard today that Bloomberg has already spent 65 million campaigning for his 3rd term as mayor of NYC. I believe he spent 85 million on his race in 2005. He has money, and he is willing to spend it freely. I think most of you are familiar with [url=http://www.jhsph.edu/]http://www.jhsph.edu/[/url] one of the Bloomberg supported websites dealing with "industrial ag". The "wizard of oz" reference is to the award the Baltimore School Board received for this courageous decision. Reminded me of the Wiz giving somebody (Scarecrow?) a medal. Maybe our checkoff needs to convince some school district to serve ribeyes at the end of terms to students with perfect attendance or exceptional achievement. :help: [/QUOTE]
