When I was in school no one ate the meat anyway. We called it "mystery meat" and left it alone. Mac and cheese was good though.

I live in a place where fish and rice are the primary staples. Many if not most dishes use cilantro. I hate cilantro. Hate the smell and the taste gags me. Fortunately I can request my food made without it. Choice is a wonderful thing. I know those kids have a choice. They can always pack their own lunch. except that in many schools that isn't allowed.

I wonder if Mr. De Blasio is also skipping meat on Monday?
Progressive (Democrats) don't like freedom, and liberty. They NEED to be told what to do so expect others to want that also. They want government to tell them what to do, and when to do it, and are comfortable with Nanny State control of their lives. Very typical in the northeast, and left coast. Not so much elsewhere in real America.


Warren Wilhelm is one of the worst along with Cuomo, and Cortez.

I'm with you, of course.

But realistically, letting people do what they want won't lead to sustainable practices. It just won't.

Great slogan and the use therof shows a willingness on your part to control the behavior and limit the choices of others in the quest for sustainability, climate calmness, income equality, racial harmony etc.
please run for office!

The meat industry is incredibly wasteful and energy intensive. By all means, continue eating meat, but you shouldn't misrepresent things, either.

I'm not for this, I even said so...

But I didn't saying anything false. We won't choose sustainable choices if given the choice. There are centuries of evidence to support this.

Which is why, let's face it, Trump was elected and he'll probably get re-elected in 2020

There is a huge disconnect and people are fighting their best to push back on the intrusions into every aspect of their lives

Typical leftist, using government to force their agenda down the throats of the people. Virtue signaling at its finest.
