Schools in NYC will no longer serve meat or dairy on Fridays. Why the mayor is determining what kids eat, is beyond me... Guess nobody is eating on Friday.

Goodbye cheese, hello chickpeas.

In keeping with Mayor Eric Adams’ focus on fitness, the nation’s largest school system will serve vegan-only meals every Friday starting this week throughout the academic year.

The dietary practice — which disallows meat and dairy — will scrap staples like mac and cheese and replace them with veggie tacos and other plant-based dishes, the Department of Education said Thursday.

The agency had already implemented a meat ban on Mondays and Fridays meals before expanding its campaign to target dairy.

I'm not against schools offering less cheese and more healthy options, but I am very against forcing people to eat vegan. I assume kids can pack their own lunches if they don't like it ofc. However. not everyone has the same dietary requirements, so how a mayor can have authority on that, I just don't understand.
