Some Schools Forcing Children to Eat Vegetarian Meals on “Meatless Mondays”

According to an article posted on the Field and Stream website, “schools in both California and Texas are forcing students to eat vegetarian through a campaign called Meatless Monday, which happens to be endorsed by the HSUS”.  Apparently, school district officials are forcing children to go without meat and poultry at school one day a week.  According to KVUE in Austin, the foods included on the menu at one school include: meatless chili, meatless pizza, meatless burritos, nachos and more–but, no meat.

“I like how they talk about compassionate eating. I think the kids are very curious about that,” said San Francisco’s School District Food Director.  HSUS Food Policy Manager for HSUS stated that meatless Mondays are a good way to potentially prevent the slaughter of some farm animals.

What do you think of children not being given the option for a vegetarian meal, but being forced to eat vegetarian, and how about the animal rights propaganda that is being pushed on the kids in these particular schools?  Would you support a change like that in your child’s school lunch program?  Maybe, as somebody who commented on the original article suggested, there should be “Wild Game Wednesdays” to even out everything?
