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?

    Wait, that was cheese? I thought that was white RTV. Sure was rubbery enough to be so, kinda like how Domino's cheese is now.

    Eating junk-food is serious business, because just when you think they couldn't go any lower, they surprise you and think you won't notice.

    At least classy places just resort to reducing portion sizes when they want to go all Jewish on their clientele.

    Is that before or after they discontinue bacon cheeseburgers and other highly non-kosher menu items?
