Oakland schools partnered with the environmental group Friends of the Earth (FOE) to fight global warming by making student lunches climate-friendly.

FOE gave kids a lunch menu designed to eliminate foods it says are “unsustainable for our planet.” The new menu features far less meat and more plant-based food. Any meat or cheese the school did use came from “pastured, organic dairy cows.” The student’s lunch menu went from beef hot dogs and pepperoni pizza to vegan stir fry tofu and vegan tostadas. The new FOE-approved menu served meat and cheese-less frequently and reduced the portion sizes.

If that is such a good idea, why don't we exclude all meat and cheese (as well as soda) from all Food Stamps purchases?

Wonder how that will go down, even in Lala land?

That's a great idea!  Our tax dollars are being used to fund global warming!  Stop the cheese!

Just a small point:

Notice how the title says "California Schools," then the body says "Oakland Schools?"

It is a fairly harmless example of media manipulation of reader perceptions.

I remember school lunches where the 'meat' and 'cheese' were...well...let's just say that the terms were used very loosely.
