No protein? How much do you want to bet there's a decent amount of protein in the vegetarian chili? Also, has Lou (and any other objector) ever heard of a sack lunch? I'm not sure the school allows that on Meatless Mondays, but if so, the parents can pack it chock full of whatever they want their kids to eat. I brought a lunchbox often in elementary school.
unhealthy dose of indoctrination? not enough protein? weren't the parents ok with the programme? so whats the problem then? oh yeah, the meat companies have a problem...what a surprise. what surprise...........................
@StarFox008: you would refuse to eat perfectly good and clean food just because "you don't like veggies"? wow...just shows how selfish, privileged and entitled some people from this country are...try living in a village in Rwanda or Darfur, or a shanty town in Dheli...I'm sure it would give you a slight attitude adjustment. What a disgrace. People are literally dying of hunger in the shanty towns that house about 30% of the worlds' population and we have people over here complaining and getting
@katarasmoon You're a stupid person. Dobbs is complaining about one day a week of eating healthy compared to six days of eating meat. If you want to cut the budget and save money, it's not going to kill anybody (let alone young kids) to eat healthy fruits and vegetables one day a week. Lord knows they need it with all the candy and snacks they eat. Having them eat like that one day a week is not shoving down anybody's throats... that's called making a decision to help children be healthier.
If I was in that school during this, I'd have to either go hungry or become very ill. Either that or make a lunch for myself which probably isn't an option for some kids.
I don't get the big deal with Meatless Mondays. You want your kid eating meat every day of the week? Take some responsibility, get off your fat ass, and make your kid a damn lunch!
you are a maggott , the only meat you eat is shawn hannity's . lou dobbs is number one.well before they made him go away. go bend over for hannity now, bitch
The school is cutting meat to be more healthy??? YEAH RIGHT! Theyre doing it to cut costs. Meat is several dollars a pound. Vegetables are like 40-50 cents. Health is just the excuse they tell us slave units....I mean, us citizens.
The problem is that we serve food in schools. So whatever they serve, it is a choice that is being made. The only way to keep the choice in the hands of the parents is not to provide school lunches at all. This is the problem with the "keep the choice to the parents" argument. We as a society have decided that education is important. Phys Ed is a requirement. Math is a requirement. Society does have the right to make certain choices for the parents. If you don't want to teach your kids math,
I cant really see the problem with one meal a week without meet, if anything we eat too much meat as it is, and its not helthy at all. I do eat meat myself, but not every day, and still i got vegitarian friends that from the looks of their bloodsamples is way helthier than me, even tho they drink and eat psycadelic mooshrooms and such, and i consider myself a fairly above average healthy person. besides, humans are not really fit for meat, we have just made it an addiction.
@Lindholmer5k ''but we need fat and minerals, and what about B12??'' we can get all of thos from greens, and animal fat isnt what we actualy need, we ned fats from nuts and such, the only reason why we get B12 from animals is that they eat what? plants :)
I mean, it's not like their beliefs are to actually be carnivorous and not ever eat vegetables and only meat because they love killing animals. They are omnivorous. And even if they did then 4/5 days they'd eat meat and you'd still have a much stronger case for vegetarians. That point is just biased hypocrisy.
If anything like this should be in question, it should be serving meat every day in school dinners because it is uninclusive and doesn't take into account the family's rights to NOT eat meat and have school dinners. Not that not having one meal a week where they don't eat meat is not taking into account meat eaters.
Though I don't agree with either of those points, with the first one we would be at least having a conversation.
@SuperCeol lol I am also a vegetarian. At first people were worried that I didnt get enough proteins/vitamins....so on but they took a blood test and I was healthier than most of my friends who eat meat.
that would be frowned upon. We as a society have decided that there are certain things that we need to teach our kids, in spite of some parents' objections. One of those things is that kids need to have certain nutritional requirements. If I wanted my kid to eat nothing but Doritos and Hostess cupcakes, that would not be a choice that I would have the right to make. Parents are not always right. That's why we have public education and child protection agencies.
@xJoeEDangerouslyx why doesn't it say @MrPitseleh at the start of your comment if it showed up in my inbox like it was to me? And what do you mean "that would be frowned upon" I didn't suggest anything.
Most of the people commenting on this video live in some fantasy world where there aren't millions of children in this country who don't get enough to eat, assuming that all families can afford meat for all home meals. They could have lean meat as part of the meal, or stop cutting PE programs, and offer after school sports to help get kids healthy, but those would cost money. They don't give a shit about kid's health, they just want to save money.
They're complaining about the meat industry being bias? WTF PETA was the other side and you can't get more extreme than those fucking nutjobs. They'd rather have seeing-eye dogs killed than have them spend their lives as "slaves" to their blind owners. The kid's meals should be balanced. A very large number of kids are in families that live below the poverty level. If you got only one solid meal a day, would you want it to be a tofu-burger?
Americans eat far more meat than any other country. It's certainly contributed to our rates of heart disease and colon cancer. But many Americans, even in the South, have meals where the only source of protein is beans because it's much cheaper than meat 7x/week. You can have many satisfying meals w/o meat. I'm sure the kids like pasta and potatoes, and those are filling. They probably like the veggie chili too. Maybe not tofu though.
That is redicilous, It's not even one day, It's one MEAL...they can still have their meat for breakfast or dinner or some snack if they really want to.
As someone who cannot even eat plants in large quantities, I have no problem with this. If there are those who require meat, they can bring their own.
But PETA needs to keep out of this. They may claim to have a good motive, but at its core it is little more than environmental extremism.
The American MEAT Institute says that 75% if kids don't get enough protein. And the incompetent fucks at CNN cite this like it might be a reliable statistic. I fucking hate CNN.
this program is interfering with a health balanced diet and is putting those kids health in jeopardy. this guy is a horrible reporter, welll hes not really a reporter hes more of a retarded clown that talks to much
why not have an ONLY meat Tuesday to balance it out? nothing but meat and everybody has to eat it. this way the kids get to make up for the lost protein the day prior.
how do the arguments go? it is an introduction to a life style for the kids...or some crap like that? well, lots of my neighbors hunt, slaughter and prepare the meal...so perhaps we should have 10 year old kids out there trapping squirrels and deer and slaughtering them for their lunch?
I can't imagine anyone liking this show enough to go to their website and watch 3 hours of it. I mean, it's good and all but 3 hours is a little excessive. I can barely sit through my favorite tv shows.
I work out everyday and instead of trying to teach kids to eat like Rocky Balboa were teaching them to eat like a fatass or a skinny poon.
Teach our kids to be responsible eaters not fucking skinny poons. Also i like to see a vegitarian hit the weights with me and outlift me that will be the day haha.
im as liberal as they come,,,but sorry im with Lou Dobbs on this one. this is just a tricky way for the city to save money so they cut food budget at the school...why dont they cut the income of high paying admn. Protien for children is important everyday. THIS IS BAD
You have a point, protein is good for everyone, kids especially.
But they're being served vegetarian foods, not just "meatless meals". I have no evidence, but likely they're eating things with protein in them. Beans have lots of protein for example, and they serve chili, correct?
At my school the only drinks they have is water and diet soda... on Fridays they have nachos which means you can put as many chips, cheese, and meat as you want
School districts in California begin putting anti-smoking comercials in school. Most parents and teachers seem to like this new policy, but there are voices of dissent from the nicotine industry.
The nicotine industry says that advertisements may be a distraction from learning and 98% of children will likely have lower test scores.
When I was in school, Tuesday and Thursday were Salad Bar day (there was another option, usually the "gross" kind.) There was also an ala cart line, with more expensive lunches (no reduced or free there.)
Back to the salad bar, sure they had chicken or ham to put on the salad, but it was healthy. And no one complained...
And in my brother's school, they ONLY have diet pop in the vending machines. Still no complaining.
Right wing 'commentators' (I don't consider Lou Dobbs a journalist) earn their stripes spinning irrelevant montage shots of ordinary mundane nothingness into ground breaking political info-mercials... And the shit-eaters at Fox gobble em up. All that "lacks protein" is Dobbs credibility as a news reporter...
Little girls are starting their periods at age 6 & 7. They are developing breast at young ages as well because of the horomes in the milk. The PARENTS who have the say so don't have a problem with it...who the FUCK ois Lou Dobbs? Now people are trying to do something about it and that indocterination?
Dobbs need to go to Faux Noise with the rest of the wing nuts where he belongs.
If you don't like it let your kid pack a fucking meaty sandwich you stupid faggots. End of the story. Fuck the vegans at my school do this and the people who don't like the school food just bring there own. This is stupid shit that anyone who politicizes this is...beyond mentally retarded.
In my school we have a salad bar... and we have at least four times a month that we have meatless food.
Like... honestly. I'm sure that every school is like this. The only reason why people are starting to realize this, is because they are actually telling them.
no its not about eating unhealthy; its about being most efficient.
before: food was good, cheap, and not overly unhealthy. amount of fat people=the same
after: food was crap, expensive, and not really healthy but was in fact less portions and more wheat thats crap tastic. all i eat is wheat bread but the schools wheat bread is bull shit. amount of fat people=exactly the fucking same.
its not the schools responsibility to regulate what we eat; its the parents'.
God forbid that red-blooded American children are offered vegetarian options once a week at school. If your child is eating vegetarian at his/her school and it's bothering you, then just pack his/her lunch. Vegetarians and vegans do the same thing when there is no vegetarian/vegan option. Suck it up, it's healthy.
aye aye aye.....PLEASE!!! spare me all that nigger nonsense. do you have any idea how pussy is it to call somebody a nigger on the internet? u troll dickheads would never say that shit to anybodys face and dont say you did because U FUCKIN DIDN'T!
The PETA agenda is the equivalent of food terrorism. I eat a vegetarian diet about 40% of my meals. But I don't want PETA telling anyone what they can and can't eat. It's like religion, if you believe that shit, great. But keep it to yourself.
It boggles my mind how these parents don't have a problem with it. I want my child to eat balanced meals, and a balanced meal includes meat. I mean, look at a food pyramid.
It's no different than Taco Tuesdays or whatever. The only time this would be a problem is if they're "policing" box-lunches the kids mom makes for them.
In general, school lunches are about as healthy as fast food and packing lunches from home is not only cheaper, but a lot healthier because you can control what your child eats.
Of course one could argue that a kid can just barter their packed lunch for unhealthy food or buy stuff with their own money, but that's more of an issue of educating and disciplining your child on what is healthy.
The schools simply need to stop going with the lowest bidder for school lunches, it's garbage food.
All the kids want a free lunch, the parents "don't have time" to pack one for them--and some schools, like the local one--CONFISCATE packed lunches because they're afraid the kids are smuggling something!
I can't make up anything this perverse!
Oh, and the lunches aren't free, the parents pay for it in the end anyways, even the ones who are responsible and pack their kids' lunches!
Even if you give more focus to vegetables in school lunches, it's pretty pointless because most of those vegetables are going to either be canned or frozen, which means the nutrition value is already cut down to almost nothing. You really only get the benefits of vegetables when you eat or cook them fresh.
If parents worry about nutrition, they should be packing lunches for their kids and not relying on dirt cheap school food that is made of card board.
so let the parents who hate meatless monday not purchase school lunch and send their kids with a ham sandwhich. I mean come on, I couldnt afford alot of meat while i was pregnant, but needed healthy protien, and had to just eat more beans, and peanut butter. My doctor was not ok with me just living off ramen. and he told me when i did eat ramen, add veggies. lou dobbs needs to take o'rielys spot on fox.
Protien is not exclusive to meat.... Just take the gorilla. A vegie. Take a Baboon a meat eater.
Its easy to see which of out distant cousin would win that fight.
Beans are 25% protein even grain is 10-15%. You can have it all in a vegetarian meal. Having meat is dense compact protein treat that we and chimps enjoy.
The American Meat Institute! Is that a scary name or what? Gee, one meal out of the day, out of the week, without "meat" is going to harm kids? Only meat gives protein?
And this so called "meat" is lower quality than they serve in prisons. Considering what that stuff is, I wish every school lunch would be meatless. Probably the best thing that could happen for those poor kids.
lol what does it matter school food always sucks.its a choice between sucky ham or sucky vegeburger.its no contest and if any one objected to it they would send a lunch with them.rather then the school serving.
okay dobbsie... you had your little meeting/dinner with GOP ass kisser roger ailes a month ago, and now its your time to start kissing his ass and work for their pathetic fox never getting business channel. what a joke this guy has become... i used to think somewhat fondly of him, but he has taken a SHARP turn to the right, especially with what he spews on his stupid radio program sounding like oreilly, hannity and beck. get the fuck out of here, you jackass, and join the fringe.
Common CNN, is this really news worthy? As if American kids are not fat enough already. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE meat. I love BBQ ribs, a big slab of steak etc. However I eat my veggies too. This is why I hate lobbyists.
Just show those kids a picture of Lou Dobbs and tell them, this is how fat you'll get if you don't eat your veggies.
This policy is not endorsed by PETA, some people might get the wrong idea. It is endorsed by numerous, politically heterogeneous groups around the world because it's sane, wise idea.
And don't get me wrong. I love hamburgers, especially home made with good meat. There's nothing better than good reindeer meat soup or stew. However, you can have excellent meatless meals as well. Chili, beans ... there's not many better sources of protein by the way ...
So the Meat Packing industry has a lobby group that is against veggie meals for school lunches! NO freakin way......doesn't make sense!! Lou Dobbs....go back to picking on innocent Mexicans!! You were doing a great job scaring white people with that shit! This would probably make you look like a fuckin idiot even with the conservatives!!
it was a nice report overall, they presented 3 sides of the story: PETA (clear bias anti-mean), parents, teachers, various people (neutral opinion), Meat Institute (clearly biased in favor of meat).
It would be silly to take the side of Meat people and treat it as the real deal when the bias is so clearly visible and contrasted against other opinions
The neutral opinion was clearly positive, that what counts.
if some douche bag parent didn't want their kid taking part in meatless monday than pack a fuckin lunch for them...it's not your call, school policy, like dress code or hall passes.
I find this to be a good idea. Also, who's forcing the kids to eat vegetables? I want my kids to eat it every other day. (not that I have kids, do find this a good plan) I'm a shamed Dobbs would think this is a political thing. Honestly.....what the hell? You use to be good...now you're catching the Fox flu.
it's at school. my high school had a dress code...it had nothing to do with libs and cons, it was just school policy, it's what the parents wanted. if i had kids i would rather have them eating veggies and meat than pizza and french fries. if you don't like it, pack a fuckin lunch.
after all, wasn't it the republicans health strategy to eat better food as opposed to making a public option?
yet another example of good old fashion republican hypocrisy. feeling, not fact. pathetic.
So if my kid's school only offers Mac and Cheese on Monday, and my kid is lactose intolerant, do I scream "LIBERAL FASCISM!!"? No, i pack my kid a god damn PB&J and I stop making up conspiracy bullshit.
Something else just occurred to me are people who are complaining about this saying they have never had a grilled cheese for lunch with some soup. People are losing it you take the fact that they are promoting an alternative to meat for one day (and those who wanted to could pack they kids lunch) and an initative to save some $ as the government taking away freedom. I don't know what is going on with some of the stuff I'm seeing people complain about these days. Beck complaing about volenteering
The problem with many vegetarian diets is the "faux meat" they try to put. There's a lot of great dishes that involve no meat at all: Hindu cuisine, Mexican cuisine has a lot, too, did I mention Hindu?.
arent kids just at school for lunch? so if they have a meat breakfast and meat at night? we arent talking about a day without meat. we are talking about 6 or 7 hours without meat. maybe we should also put them on a meat drip during the night to make sure they dont fade away
this is nothing short of FASCISM the government telling people "youl eat what we tell you to, youl learn what we tell you to, and if you dont like it we have some concentration i mean fema camps for you" 75% of children dont get enough protein so why would anyone try to limit the amount of protein they eat? do democrats really hate children that much? this is just one more example of liberalism trampling the civil rights and freedoms of america
Hi not trying to argue or anything here but if the parents had an issue which in this community they don't can't they pack their childs lunch that day if they want them to have meat? I don't understand how promoting an alternative food choice for lunch for one day is trampling on anyone's civil rights. It is also helping that district save $. That's also a good thing right or am I missing something
It isn't the government. It's one fucking school. Jesus, not everything is a conspiracy. Didn't your school lunch program have menus, and whatever was on the menu that day was it, and if you didn't like it you could pack your own lunch? How is this fascism, unless we completely take all meaning out of the word?
No protein? How much do you want to bet there's a decent amount of protein in the vegetarian chili? Also, has Lou (and any other objector) ever heard of a sack lunch? I'm not sure the school allows that on Meatless Mondays, but if so, the parents can pack it chock full of whatever they want their kids to eat. I brought a lunchbox often in elementary school.

You have a point, protein is good for everyone, kids especially.
But they're being served vegetarian foods, not just "meatless meals". I have no evidence, but likely they're eating things with protein in them. Beans have lots of protein for example, and they serve chili, correct?

When I was in school, Tuesday and Thursday were Salad Bar day (there was another option, usually the "gross" kind.) There was also an ala cart line, with more expensive lunches (no reduced or free there.)
Back to the salad bar, sure they had chicken or ham to put on the salad, but it was healthy. And no one complained...
And in my brother's school, they ONLY have diet pop in the vending machines. Still no complaining.

its not the schools responsibility to regulate what we eat; its the parents'.

God forbid that red-blooded American children are offered vegetarian options once a week at school. If your child is eating vegetarian at his/her school and it's bothering you, then just pack his/her lunch. Vegetarians and vegans do the same thing when there is no vegetarian/vegan option. Suck it up, it's healthy.

In general, school lunches are about as healthy as fast food and packing lunches from home is not only cheaper, but a lot healthier because you can control what your child eats.
Of course one could argue that a kid can just barter their packed lunch for unhealthy food or buy stuff with their own money, but that's more of an issue of educating and disciplining your child on what is healthy.
The schools simply need to stop going with the lowest bidder for school lunches, it's garbage food.
metalfaust19 2 years ago
All the kids want a free lunch, the parents "don't have time" to pack one for them--and some schools, like the local one--CONFISCATE packed lunches because they're afraid the kids are smuggling something!
I can't make up anything this perverse!
Oh, and the lunches aren't free, the parents pay for it in the end anyways, even the ones who are responsible and pack their kids' lunches!
EPGAH 2 years ago
Even if you give more focus to vegetables in school lunches, it's pretty pointless because most of those vegetables are going to either be canned or frozen, which means the nutrition value is already cut down to almost nothing. You really only get the benefits of vegetables when you eat or cook them fresh.
If parents worry about nutrition, they should be packing lunches for their kids and not relying on dirt cheap school food that is made of card board.

And don't get me wrong. I love hamburgers, especially home made with good meat. There's nothing better than good reindeer meat soup or stew. However, you can have excellent meatless meals as well. Chili, beans ... there's not many better sources of protein by the way ...

The neutral opinion was clearly positive, that what counts.
