Vegetarian School Meals

Tofu corn dogs, vegan burgers and cartons of soy milk are now showing up on your child's school lunch menu. As more students are choosing to go vegetarian and hopefully vegan, Gwinnett County, Metro Atlanta's largest school system, is now offering vegetarian meals every day of the week at all of its 110 schools.

too bad my school wont go veggi...im vegetarian.... if i forget my lunch i cant eat anything

[TheVeganHere]

@khusbunny That is too bad. It's

not only the right thing to do for vegetarian students but it is a healthy option. I think if you go to PCRM dot org they might have some ideas to help. Or in fact if you contact them they may actually help out.

I watched Food Inc. and I'm considering becoming a vegetarian

@volunteernation16 ` If there is any way in which I can help you please send me a message.

Did that nutritionist seriously just say dairy would be necessary when giving up meat?

Way to subtly discourage veganism.

[TheVeganHere]

I am vegan for ethical reasons. I did so over 20 years ago. I didn't care what the health issues were. Everyone told me I better be careful or I could get really sick. I started studying nutrition and the risks to being vegan. Actually I have been reading up about nutrition and health for over 20 years and the one that is clear is that a vegan diet is very healthy. Adrianehm, you should actually research facts, before making definitive, yet inaccurate statements.

I don't like meat, not even the soy products. So any other options besides tofu? -_-

[Poseidon99Jeus]

I can't live without meat !!

[treyCcatastrophe]

That dietician obviously has her facts wrong. Because dairy is completely unnecessary. And you can have a well balanced diet, and calcium without it.

I'm proud of you, Atlanta.

Well Gwinnett County.

[angelinascorner]

I eat 1 time per week fish and 3 times per week meat, just because it's better for you cause you need the B12 in it.I tested it myself.My cousin almost died because of being a vegetarian.but I don't care if someone wants to eat vegie, I mean, it's their opinion.And also, we eat biologic meat which can run free..It's far expensiver but ,hey, if I was that chicken, I would rather had a good life, before I die...Not?

Finally. Damn, i was a vegetarian and wanted to be vegan throughout my entire elementary through high school years. No options man.

Best they could do is an F' ing cheese pizza. Or a bean and cheese burrito. Like wtf.

[computerhelper303]

man i wish that was in my school :(

[veganchica81]

I became a vegetarain when I was 12. My school was in a SMALL REDNECK TOWN but they had an awesome salad bar. I recomend if your school lunch lacks vegan food then try going to the bookstore or amazone and get the book "vegan lunchbox" it's a great book full of ideas to take for lunch! I amso happy to see more kids turning veg....don't forget milk is bad too. Vegan is

@OhDianaCanScream i totally agree with you, i'm vegetarian too and i got really annoyed, it's a lifestyle choice not a trend
