NEW YORKA New York City public elementary school has adopted an all-vegetarian menu, serving kids tofu wraps and veggie chili.

Public School 244 is the first public school in the city to go all-veggie. The animal-welfare group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says it might be the first all-veggie public elementary school in the nation.

Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott says he's proud of the "trailblazing" school. He ate the new food with children on Tuesday.

Soy has estrogen mimicing compounds. Males should not eat soy, period... that is, unless the people feeding them want them to turn into effeminate Liberals that vote Democrat.

Me thinks someone wants precicely that result.

A Freeper one posted here about how his brother who's a doctor shocks his new vegan patients by informing them that gas is a side effect of such a diet and can be quite a problem for some.

So now it's going to be who didn't pass gas in class. Those who don't will be identified as not eating the vegan meals and will be told to get with the program or else.

Is this a school where the kids largely eat kosher? It’s probably easier to just do a vegetarian than it is to try to keep a kosher kitchen. I don’t think it’s a big deal. If the kids want a ham sandwich, they can always pack a lunch from home.

I also read that processed soy can be worse for a person than red meats. A few soy products can cause something similar to roid rage in some young men.

Reminds me of the movie TOUGH GUYS in which Burt Lancaster leads a riot in an old folks home demanding ...”REAL FOOD! REAL FOOD!”

Exactly. Boys can no longer be boys and girls can no longer be girls (the puberty age gets lower and lower).

Christ cannot come back quick enough. They are destroying His little innocents.

This area is overwhelmingly black. I am unaware of any US public schools with kosher kitchens, even in NYC.

80% of NYC public school grads cannot read. But they will know their tofu. Dear Lord, help us!

Tofu = soy beans = girly stuff.

Soy = poison

Eat only fermented soy.

B12 is the risky one.

Whenever someone tells me they are a vegan, I ask them how they get their b vitamins. So many are clueless.

You can get it from yeast ~ but if you have a problem in retaining it you need more than that ~ a daily sublingual B12 pill keeps the visions and funny stuff away!

Michelle imagined black women with a heavily central African background can actually shed pounds off their butts.

They can't ~ but 40 years in USPS taught me to never even hear those conversations ~ she spent her whole life in a black family and never figured out what everybody at the post office knows whether they wanted to know or not.

You thought they threw a lot of food away before they tried this stupid idea. They will need to order more dumpsters to handle the additional waste.

I bet LA’s Roosevelt High School got more dumpsters along with their on-campus abortion clinic. After Gosnell walks, the fix might be in, he has a job at a High school waiting I guess.

Are the kids who bring their lunches to school going to be strip searched for contraband meat?
