New York City's school children will be tucking into chickpea wraps and veggie tacos, instead of cheese pizza and 'mystery meat' sandwiches, as the nation's largest school district shifts to 'Vegan Fridays' starting this week. The move was championed by the city's new Mayor Eric Adams, who follows and promotes a plant-based diet that he credits for improving his health.'I can't tell people what to put on their grills on the weekend. But darn it, we should not be feeding the health care crisis in our prisons, our hospitals, and most importantly, in our schools, so we want to go in a more healthy direction,' Adams said

Poor New York kids; they have a Wookie for a mayor! I remember those “healthy eating” school lunches. The kids tossed it. They know what’s good for them.

And it is probably soy based which eating a lot of is NOT good for growing kids. I am extremely sensitive to soy and have to read all labels - even pill bottles to make sure there is no soy in it. When I was younger, it would make my monthly last all month - not a good thing.

Bullshite! It's called protein is TOO EXPENSIVE! Plants are cheap... at least right now. But a fertilizer disaster is about to change all of that. It's not about "healthy food," a vegan diet as a lifestyle is terrible for the human body. But then, these are the same arseholes that made Big Ag wealthy by trashing animal fat and pushing a high carbohydrate (essential a diabetic catastrophe) diet.
They don't care about kids or the rest of us. They never have and never will.

Is there a Demon-Rat out there anywhere that doesn't think he or she is so much smarter than the unwashed masses of ignorant peasants they lord themselves over?!?!?!?
I would love to see the garbage cans on the days they serve this slop. Talk about overflowing with uneaten "health food". Meanwhile, the hungry kids will be running home to get some real food as soon as school lets out. Oh that one investigative reporter would have the cajones to actually do this investigation and expose the truth!!!

Who the hell does he think he is, Michelle Obama? New York kids are being killed in the streets by Eric's black brothers but they are getting their spinach. This is a characteristic of people who have no idea what they are doing so they pick something foolish upon which to focus.

#4 I also avoid soy. Special mayonnaise. Special salad dressing.
It is believed that the soy fed the estrogen and the estrogen fed the cancer.
I also avoid burning candles.

Now we know why Bill Gates bought up so much farmland. I’ll bet he’s in the plant based food business now. Trying to save the Earth from cow farts.

Golly, I've been observing meatless Fridays since my First Communion, in remembrance that my Lord Jesus died for me on a Friday. Could the mayor be a closet Catholic?

Re #4. Soy has molecules that are extremely similar to female hormones. This is why the "soy boy" epithet means something. Too much soy is getting, effectively, female hormones, as you found out.

Yes, meatless Friday certainly reminds me of Catholic school again. Sister Mary Harry, "Top Nun." The paddle. Actually learning. Anybody besides me remember "tunies", those gawdawful tuna-based hot dogs? Who knew that someday even whacked out communist New York mayors would be Catholic? Or for that matter, who knew that someday the Pope WOULDN'T be Catholic?
Strange times, my fellow time travelers...

Guess what? Adams is as much a communist as St. de Blasio. He's dictating school lunches.

Empty virtue signaling as the city burns to the ground. Adams seems to be no better than the cracker he replaced.
