NYC Public School all Vegetarian

[ifarm26]

Did anyone else see this segment on GMA that a school in New York has gone completely vegetarian? The article states its all about making good choices and the kids know its healthy for them to eat a vegetarian diet. I was always taught, yes even in college, that a well balanced diet consisted of meat, fruits,vegetables, grains, and dairy. I guess the big bad meat portions are what makes the kids fat, not the cookies and chips the kids are eating. This sounds like another liberal agenda being forced upon impressionable students. I see it as an attack on animal agriculture in my opinion. They should be teaching about portions and lean meats benefits, not that its a bad choice to eat meat!

I didn't see the story, but I hope it was a private school.

I kind of wonder if the fear mongerers are getting bored with the whole 'global warming' thing, and have decided to instead become food police. It seems the last year or so it's really been in the news a lot.

Healthy choices...sounds more like eat what we say you eat or starve!

50 years ago kids weren't as fat as they are today. We had a few. Feed kids what we ate. What's different? Not as much instant processed food. Other than that I think we played outdoors every day.

Mayor Bloomberg failed to see the humor in this:

I don't worry so much about kids being taught to be vegetarians. We have famine in this world as it is and most farmable pieces of ground are already planted. I think sooner or later hunger will get them straitened back out to where they have no choice but to understand that livestock is how we farm ground that won't grow crops.

The meat they served at the schools I went to would make you want to be a vegetarian. The fish sticks were the best thing they had. I always traded my hamburger to Tina Macon for a quarter.

As much as i like the story i would have to have video proof that Bloomberg was stupid enuf to say what he is quoted as saying.

However even without the profanity i would love to shake that guys hand for doing that to him in the first place. I guess only Bloomberg knows what is good for us.

Turns out the web site is like the Onion. Satire, and it's not true. Just saw that this morning. Sorry.

Bloomberg is so bat-be-nice crazy that it is easy to Believe anything you hear about him. I can't cite sources, but I heard him quoted telling a little girl (maybe 4th grade) when she complained about the meat quality she was being served in school "good little girls grow up to be vegan"
I heard he tried to get his police chief to arrest Keith Richards for smoking on stage in Madison Square Garden. The chief elected to not start a riot.
Bloomberg funded the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins U in Baltimore. That School supplies a lot of the intellectual and Propaganda support for anti meat peoples.
He spent over 100 million getting elected last time he ran. He has many more millions to spend on gun control.
He would like to be POTUS. Fortunately, he seems to have likeability problems.

We always had on our plates what "they say" is now unhealthy. We didn't have fast/highly processed foods. We didn't have unsaturated fats. We also have vegetables that were grown in healthy soil.

A steak with fat around it, real butter, bread, vegetables and no sodas.

Now we have nutritional experts telling us how to eat. How else do you explain the unhealthy and over processed food hospitals serve.

Meat of any color never was and still isn't the cause of our declining health.

Speaking of Bloomberg and his Johns Hopkins House of Horrows, I thought this was an interesting article just spewed off his press. Looks like we are all going to die shortly cause farmers can't sow their corn. :???: ;-)

I'm just glad to learn the price of beef has nothing to do with inflation or the price of fuel. I was starting to think our government wasn't doing a good job. Glad that's not the case and I won't have reason to say such creating a necessary cause for the IRS to audit me. I just don't have time for an audit right now.

Notice that it didn't say anything about WATER? I'm sitting here in one of the premier growing regions OF THE WORLD and we have a manmade drought made by politicians which is made worse this year by natural drought and yet all of our water is either headed to lawns and golf courses down south or straight out to sea to protect a non-native species of fish. There may be food shortages coming but it isn't because of modern agricultural practices.
