No vegetarian or vegan option at her school
According to Neal Barnard, a nutrition researcher with the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine, his group is sponsoring ads challenging the nation's school cafeterias to include vegetarian and vegan options for students.
"You have affluent children with access to healthy foods, and disadvantaged children have the same rights to the same kinds of healthy meals as affluent kids. And we are fighting for that fairness, so we felt that making that statement as directly as we could was important."
For me the most important part of the article was the quote above, which addresses the issue of health. Gradually, gradually, gradually, people are getting accustomed to the idea of an innocent diet. From what I have read about them, the Obamas would not oppose the aims of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine. This seems like an issue that enjoy broad support. The President would not oppose it, and even if he did, what--the Republicans are going to agree with him? As for the Democrats, they have consistently been friendlier to vegetarian causes.
Read the article.
