And you are spewing fact? eat your vegetables junior ...
Is this AOC?
Soy beans use land in abundance tractors,combines use fuel sure other grow op's use energy,equipment,water you must be very young and naive.Animals have been on this planet doing what they do forever now its a crime to use what God has created.I guess we all might as well hold our breath and die to stop green house gases we all expel to appease the moronic left.
Of course vegetables and fruit require resources and land. I didn't claim they don't...odd response.
You might want to reread the post I made. The point was pretty obvious.
I apologize if this reality upsets you, but resource allocation for raising animals for human consumption, particularly in factory farms, is incredibly more intensive on the planet than just vegetables and fruits.
I'm not a vegan, by the way - if that matters to you. Although I haven't eaten meat in a few years, I'm not against it entirely, particularly when done in sustainable ways. I also do still consume things like cheese from cow's milk, although I'm pretty selective on farms when I can be.
And while we (Humans) have eaten meat for a long time, it wasn't in the quantities that Americans consume it today (on average in every single meal vs. once a day or every few days). Honestly, things wouldn't be so imbalanced if we didn't get so much food from agribusiness factory farming.

Love grilled cheese and I'm not against the idea of cutting back on meat but let it be something the people decide to do.
Let the people decide? Are you proposing that we have elections to set school menus? I'm all for democracy, but the people don't have to decide every little detail.
If parents want their children to have something that is not on the menu, then they can pack a lunch for them. They can even send a big fat steak for them if they so choose. My kids didn't like most of the things served at school, so we packed lunches, problem solved.
There ya go, problem solved.
Someone did mention that some schools don't allow students to bring lunch from home. I cant imagine that going over well in my area.
But realistically, letting people do what they want won't lead to sustainable practices. It just won't.
There is an ever growing segment that eats no meat at all. As I get older I've cut back. Not particularly for the reasons the mayor states, though I am good with that but for my health so it all works out the same. People can understand.

We do that in most places. They are known as school boards. That is where things like this should be decided anyway, not with a mayor.
