Queens Elementary School Adopts All-Vegetarian Menu

[Pink Ranger]

I'm with the omnivores. Though I'm more partial to whatever you'd call people who like mushrooms. Fungivores? Mushrooms are probably my favorite food after chicken and ahead of peaches.

One chicken-peach-mushroom surprise coming up!

Actually, that does sound like an iteresting pizza combination. I mean, they do have the Hawaiin pizza now, something 15 years ago we would snub our noses up, but in the end, it's not a bad pizza at all.

I don't know what people are whining about, America's greatest generation was brought up on moldy bread and horse meat.

They would have killed for a grass burrito.

101 Reasons to go VEGAN

I wouldn't know how to go vegan if I wanted to. And I don't.

I would have no problem consuming eggs, if they didn't throw 200 million male chicks into a wood chipper every year.

I hate the industrialization of farming. It's unhealthy, it's unethical, and it's incredibly bad for the environment.

But our population size makes it an inevitability.

I think we should invest heavily in artificial meat production, really.

The animals we eat now are already so biologically altered by drugs, that I can't imagine it would be any less healthy.

lol, it is very easy really. Just stop buying meat and its by products.
At least I am glad you recognise the harm of industrialising farming in animals, humans and the planet. These 3 are interconnected and should always be our priority to think and act in a holistic way.

Artificial meat has started being tested in labs. I think in a very few years it will be a normality. Although I don't see the need for it, (well maybe for the strong addicted meat eaters) and many hotheaded will protest and oppose it, because they will demand to eat the "natural" stuff

 

[Thundercrack85]

It really isn't, because even most breads are made using eggs and milk. Our entire food industry is based around meat, dairy, and eggs.

It's an incredible inconvenience to try to follow a vegan diet if you live in America.

But then to be honest, I don't really see an issue with killing an animal to eat it. In nature, it is kill, or be killed.

That doesn't mean the animal has no sanctity though. The conditions they make cows, pigs, and other animals live in these factories are abhorrent, and often unnecessary. And really, I don't think most people are aware of how bad it is.

So, bring on in vitro meat. Hell, it will probably taste more like the real thing than the **** you buy in the grocery store.

 

[enterthemadness]

I'm a vegetarian and really try my best not to eat any...thing or take any medicine that contains gelatin.

Of course, I also use e-cigs, so I'm like a oxymoron? I don't eat meat cause well, I grew tired of eating things that used to have eyes.

Not all bread is made by milk and eggs really. There are tons of vegan diet sites that provide enough information about animal free products and where you can get them. America also has many vegan food chains especially in NY.

In nature yeah, it might be killed, but how many of us today are living in caves or out in the wild and have a reason to kill any animal to survive? We have an abundance of green food and organic stores, that even the whole process of buying meat and making a preparation to cook it is not worthy, because in the end it will lose any vitamin it may have. And would you have the guts to kill an animal? Personally I don't, so I don't feel right either letting someone else do it for me. If it's not good for my eyes, why would it be good for my stomach?

It's probably more likely that we'd move to farming insects for food.

Why do you say that? And who would feel comfortable with the idea of eating an insect?

 

[warhorse78]

So, what is the US going to do if the experts can't figure out what's killing the honey bees? This really isn't a joking matter.

That's another reason why Vegans don't eat honey. Bees produce it to feed their kind and we exploit their ability and deprive them of the nutrients they need to survive. Maybe, I say maybe that's a big contributing factor on their unexplained disappearance.

 

[chaseter]

The human being is an omnivore. The end.

 

[terry78]

Next you'll tell me hamburgers aren't vegan.

Resolving the Health Care Crisis: T. Colin Campbel at TEDxEast

We got to a point where we could turn on and off cancer development which shows that nutrition controls cancer development, not genes or virus.

Anti-oxidants, complex carbohydrates and vitamins those are the key elements that give rise to health. And they 're all found in plants. Plants make these things. Animal foods don't make these things

Dr.Campbell has spent the last 40 years at the forefront of nutrition research. His major research project the China Project is the largest nutrition study ever conducted. Here he shares his ideas to revolutionize our nation's health.

 

[Doctor Evo]

Why do you say that? And who would feel comfortable with the idea of eating an insect?

You do realize that a significant portion of the world's population regularly incorporate insects into their diet, don't you?

Insects are a nutritious and, perhaps more importantly, fairly sustainable source of animal protein for humans.

Um, another portion of the population eats dogs and snakes. I don't care what others do. To me eating insects is plain disgusting.
lol you're still completely oblivious and ignorant of the fact that we can get all the nutrients and vitamins from plats and fruit don't you?

What is it that you don't get? Wanna explain it to you like we are in school class? And I said, "maybe" that's what's killing bees, not "certainly". Got it now?
And I like how you ignore the above video and respond to older posts being a first class smartass. Way to go.

I am glad that I don't know any vegans in real life.

lol. Whatever suits you pal.

 

[Teelie]

I know a vegetarian or two, none of them are as self-righteous or pompous as vegans though. The worst of the vegetarians fortunately doesn't spout off their beliefs frequently or moralize over meat.

First US vegetarian school popular with students

[YT]jtSB-fkiv6c[/YT]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtSB-fkiv6c

Now to this test case off a promising start, 8 other schools in NY have also decided to eat up their greens and go vegetarian.

Hopefully, the US will set the example for the rest of the schools around the world

You asked:

...to which I responded that many people are. I'm having a hard time believing that you're actually this dense. Surely this is an act.

What is it that you don't get? Wanna explain it to you like we are in school class? And I said, "maybe" that's what's killing bees, not "certainly". Got it now?

Yes, please explain it to me like we are in "school class." It would be hilarious, primarily because it's one of the most poorly thought-out arguments I've ever seen.

And I like how you ignore the above video and respond to older posts being a first class smartass. Way to go.

...does the video have anything to do with the disappearance of honey bees?
