vegan slop served to children in NYC public school
Children in New York City schools are already subjected to “Meatless Mondays” and now they will be tortured with “Vegan Fridays.”
NYC Mayor Eric Adams is a vegan (doesn’t consume any animal products) and now he’s forcing his diet of vegetables and fake meat and bean slop onto children.
“Friday’s menu included “vegan veggie tacos,” with a tortilla and salsa, with broccoli, and a carrot and lemon salad on the side. Other planned offerings this month include a Mediterranean chickpea dish with rice or pasta, and a black bean and plantain rice bowl.” – AP reported.
No child (or adult) wants to eat broccoli and a lemon and carrot salad.
“Plant-based options in schools means healthy eating and healthy living, and improving the quality of life for thousands of New York City students,” said Adams.

Starting today, New York City public school cafeterias will go vegan on Fridays! @NYCMayor‘s new policy gives students access to healthier, dairy-free options and is an excellent step toward getting more plant-based foods in schools. @fox5ny pic.twitter.com/73FfzGYHsl

The first “Vegan Friday” started today and this is what it looked like for some of the children in New York City:
No one expects a school lunch to be fine dining but… this is black beans, tomato and corn for NYC schools very first #VeganFriday. Option 2 was this burrito which wasn’t even #vegan. Tonight at 11pm on @ABC7NY. burrito credit @jenchung pic.twitter.com/zwIkoKzC8y

.@NYCMayor I am as much a believer in the power of healthy food as you, but this ain’t it. This was served to a public school student #Seenin13 for Vegan Fridays. The only real meal some of our city’s kids can count on is what they get @ school. This wasn’t thought through. pic.twitter.com/nJEwmHYg2T

Kids dumped the vegan tacos in the garbage.
This is the @NYCMayor new vegan option for Fridays. Most of the kids dumped this in the garbage or just ate the cookies. It smelled like armpits & it was completely unappetizing. Why would you remove options for students? A dry cheese sandwich isn’t going to cut it. @NYCSchools pic.twitter.com/PKot8IyNp6

Mayor Adams’ vegan lunches may be worse than Michelle Obama’s school lunch program.
