Way to go, New York City! All 1,200 schools in the New York City public school district will now offer a vegan hummus option every day at the beginning of this school year, thanks to The Coalition for Healthy School Food (CHSF), a non-profit that helps introduce plant-based foods into schools. Vegan options for students that are available on the school’s vegetarian menu will range from Mexicali Chili, Lentil Stew, Lentil Sloppy Joes, Braised Black Beans with Plantains, and Zesty BBQ Crunchy Tofu. These yummy meals will be on rotation for the vegetarian menus.
And this isn’t CHSF‘s first initiative to help students have access to fresh, healthy food. CHSF has worked with the city’s department of education to help three NYC schools, Active Learning Elementary School in Queens (PS244), Peck Slip School in Manhattan (PS343), and The Bergen Elementary School (PS1) in Brooklyn, to transition to an all-vegetarian menu.
How can they have any pudding if they don't eat their meat?

So, beans, beans, beans, and soy.

And carbs. Don't forget the carbs.
And murder.
Don't believe me? Go to any freshly-harvested row crop field, and watch the scavengers pick it over for mutilated field fauna.
But don't tell the kiddies that. They might cry and ask for steak 'n eggs instead.

But don't forget that Mexicali Chili and Lentil Stew are fresh and healthy. I assume that means the beans were picked on a local farm within 2 days of serving...

New York City made me want to shit before this happened.
Now what will be gained in health will be lost through lost productivity through constant bathroom breaks and malnutrition. Oh wait, veganism isn't healthy because it's eating pure carbs and staying hungry because bodies aren't getting the nutrition they need.

Nice display of ignorance, for someone who subsists on corn by-products you shouldn't be talking.
EF is not just a troll but an ignorant fool? No way!
