Like “jumbo shrimp,” “proud New Jerseyan” or “Democratic-party moderate,” “vegan dining” is an obvious oxymoron. The vegan part of the dish is the garbage that’s left after you throw out the real food. You might as well be eating the wrapper your sandwich came in. When it comes to bean-sprout sundaes or celery burgers, put me down for a hearty “no thanks.”
You eat what you want, though. Just don’t tell me what I can have. Is that so hard? Yet New York City public school students are being forced to go vegan on Fridays, thanks to our vegan mayor, Eric Adams.
Adams’s gag-inducing new policy of swapping out food for colon-blow roughage and mashed yeast is a declaration of food war. As if we didn’t have enough wars going on— the woke wars, the COVID wars, the language wars and the info wars and the streaming wars. The hell with peas, give peace a chance. It’s also a religious war: Eric (like Bill Clinton, another member of the militant vegan brigades) used to be fat, got thin, and is now an evangelist for the cause. Good for you, Eric! But don’t force your cauliflower patties and cheese-less tacos on the kids. It’s been a horrible two years for them: haven’t they suffered enough?

Where’s the beef?
Great, so judging from the pics the kids get nothing but carbs and are probably in a coma by 1 PM. Tostitos, the lunch of champions!
“Haven’t they suffered enough?”
Nope...just wait until they start mandatory anal swab “testing” to enter school buildings.
On the plus side, maybe this will make kids adamant about wearing their masks.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
While I am in complete agreement that the vegan school lunches will be absolutely inedible, vegan meals can be very tasty, filling, nutritious, and satisfying.
I am a long time omnivore, but often I have a few days of vegetarian/vegan meals simply because I know how to prepare and cook delicious food.
Adams is as crazy as comrade De Blasio. Queue pictures of lunch trays tossed into garbage cans.
I agree with you, they can be great. But I can’t say I was a big fan of most the stuff they did with meat when I was in grade school. I don’t trust what they will do with this.
Is Adams Big Mike’s Mini Me?
Same here...especially in summer when I have lots of fresh veggies and herbs! I figure it’s good practice for when hard times come.

The worst school lunches I ever tried to eat was in the 4th grade at AZTEC, NM back in 1956. It seems each day was a slop of thinned out Macaroni so tasteless it caused lots of the kids, including me, to throw it back up on the tray. I don’t ever remember meat on the plate.
I finally talked Mom into making me sack lunches of good meat sandwiches and some fruit.
The Farmington and Kirtland schools just a few miles West of there had GREAT lunches.
Even the lunches at an Ozark hillbilly school was far better than Aztec lunches.
And the people of New York City are foolish enough to keep voting lefties into office.
Too bad he hasn’t cracked down on criminals like he has on children like he promised he would. Oh get real. After all he is a Democrat.
Fully expect that most of this vegan food will be thrown away.
The racist diet.
No, the cracker diet.
Right, it’s who does the cooking. When my son was in middle school a few years ago, “pizza” was a toasted hot dog bun with sauce on it. When I was in school 50+ years ago, we had tasty and healthy school lunches. Those lunch ladies could cook, and a lot of them spent their entire working lives doing it.
