DRIPPING SPRINGS, Texas -- "Meatless Monday" is just what it sounds like: A day without meat. It's a trend happening across the nation, and Dripping Springs ISD is trying it out -- and cooking up some controversy.

The international campaign encourages everyone to skip eating meat one day a week. Advocates say it can improve people's health and the health of the planet.

On Monday's menu at Rooster Springs Elementary School: cheese pizza, black bean burritos, vegetarian chili, cheese nachos and more.

Can't imagine a day without meat.
