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?

    It has to be linked to your gut flora. I find i have that problem when i eat stuff i don't usually eat. If you change your diet to regularly ingest that new thing your microbiome adjusts and the issue disappears.

    That's how I adjusted to eating that cheap and delicious spicy Halal I always get (about once or twice a week). At first I would have to eat only about half and it would send me right to the toilet with diarrhea within an hour. After a few months it subsided and I can now eat a full meal without any diarrhea. I usually have a solid stool the next day though I sometimes get diarrhea the next day after eating breakfast or lunch. If I smoke weed while eating, I can eat the whole damn plate and have a proper solid stool the next day regardless.
