Baltimore Schools Embrace Anti-Meat Movement with ‘Meatless Mondays’
(CNSNews.com) – The first graders lining up for lunch at Arlington Elementary School in Baltimore, Md., on Monday could pick a cheese sandwich or cheese lasagna and a bowl of mixed vegetables or broccoli. They could not, however, have meat for lunch now that cafeterias throughout the school district have adopted "Meatless Mondays."
Mellissa Mahoney, a chef and dietitian with the school district, said the idea started as part of a themed-approach to planning lunches for the school year. She said the plan changed after representatives from the Meatless Monday movement approached Mahoney and Food Services Director Tony Geraci.
“They met with us over the summer, before we even launched the new menu,†Mahoney told CNSNews.com. She said at first they didn’t realize that Meatless Monday is a national and international movement with ties to extreme animal rights activists. “We know now what they do, and we have collaborated with them,†Mahoney said.

Among its fans are the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an extremist animal rights group that not only seeks an end to meat consumption but lobbies for animals to have the same rights as humans.

I wish I had read this thread yesterday, I would have grilled up some burgers in celebration.
With meat sauce.
And the bun would be made of meat.
With bacon.
I just drooled a bit.

Several schools I went to had Meatless Fridays. (Predominately Catholic areas) And, my Mom told me in MS, when she was in grade school, that most days her school lunch was beans and rice.

When I worked at Ford, the company cafeteria would not serve meat on Friday, only fish.

I guess there were some jackasses on Larry King last night advocating a "meatless society." You know what? You don't want to eat meat? Fine. Crap like a cow for the rest of your life. I don't care. But DO NOT force your retarded beliefs on me. I like meat and will eat meat until the day I die and there's nothing you can do about it.

It's just another religion like Glow Bull Warming.
Why isn't the ACLU all over this?

Those would have been days my little herd of omnivores were bring lunch meat sandwiches, even as little kids none of them had any patience with this kind of BS.

This calls for countermeasures. Cue the meat-tossing scene from the semi-cult classic movie "PCU".

Mmm...meat! And more of it for me. Besides, anyone remember school cafeteria meat being tasty? Not me.
But what I want to know is what do they do for the little darlings who are vegan? lactose intolerant?

Our meatloaf wasn't too bad, nor were the burgers and pizzas that had meat.

My HS served hamburgers, but none of us were ever sure they really had meat in them. Then in the college dining halls, we had "Mystery Meat", "the Dreaded Breaded" and "Chicken Fried Unidentified".

In college, I worked in the cafeteria for a semester. Let's just say I ate pretty much vegetarian fare after that...

Did they ever serve "SOS"?

Nope. But we had alot-of-stuff "divan" I learned to stay away from anything that had "divan" in it's name.
I like good SOS tho.

Want kids to stop complaining about school food? Serve them Navy food. SOS, baboon's ass, horsecock sandwiches, elephant scabs, cat turds...all guaranteed to raise the dead--or at least their bile.

On the contrary, kids might like foods with names like that.

Yeah, right up to the point the cooks shoved that shit out the window, and then they'd do what we did--pool our money, take orders, and send the non-qual to Santana's for carne asada burritos.

I didn't have many complaints about the food on board most of the time. It only got bad towards the end of a deployment.

You never had some of the cooks on my last boat. Junior cook in the morning wouldn't put out cereal because, as he reasoned, "The crew will just eat it!" This is the same guy who, after dinner in port one night, was peadling down the pier with a bag of trash balanced on his bike's handlebars. One of the electrician's girlfriends walked by as he was on his way out. She got to where we were with a puzzled look on her face and asked her boyfriend, "Do they really let guys with Down's Syndrome join?" He never figured out why he was called Corky after that.

Our main cook was a huge black guy with a southern accent, and he could cook. I think he slept on the mess deck, because it seemed like he was always there.

This is really nothing new. I went to catholic schools and they would only serve fish and pb&J on Fridays. We also had a uniform. Now, most of the public schools in Florida also require uniforms and I think this is a great idea. It's easier on the parents and children can't compete with designer clothes vs non-designer clothing.
I've been looking into daycare and there is this great Jewish daycare in my neighborhood that I was considering...until I learned they were Kosher.
Now I know there is a distinction....we went to a religious school and my parents knew we had to follow their rules...
