Following the footsteps of a public elementary school in Flushing, Queens, another public school in New York City has decided to go vegetarian.

The Peck Slip School in lower Manhattan announced Monday that it will only be serving students plant-based meals due to its benefits not only for the kids but the planet as well, becoming the second non-charter public school in the U.S. to do so.

“We decided to implement the vegetarian menu because of the health benefits of a diet including more legumes, vegetables, and whole grains and our concerns about the environmental impact of meat production,” explained Maggie Siena, school principal. “As it turns out the vegetarian dishes are pretty delicious, too – we are seeing more kids trying and liking chickpeas, brown rice, and whole wheat pasta. Kale salad was a huge hit.”

Yeah, bull####.

So where are the parents in all this? At least the majority of them must be onboard, otherwise this hippie principal would never get away with this.

I'd send my kid to that school with a bologna sandwich in his lunch.

I'd rather be homeschooled than go vegetarian
