Meatless Monday in NYC

Experimenting on kids: De Blasio’s ridiculous Meatless Monday stunt

In yet another bit of pseudo-moralistic preening, Mayor Bill de Blasio this week announced that the city’s public schools have moved to Meatless Mondays.

(Naturally, meatless Fridays are unthinkable: It’d seem to favor a single religion.)

“Cutting back on meat a little will improve New Yorkers’ health and reduce greenhouse emissions,” said the mayor. This will supposedly “keep our lunch and planet green for generations to come.”

Mr. Jenniel,

Now, no, let's not be hasty. The plan could be for Bloomberg to boost lunch time sales in the bodegas around the schools, increasing the tax base.

Of course, then down side will be they will now need twice as many garbage trucks on Monday to haul off all the discarded food.

That reminds me of Michelle Obama's school lunches...

Then what’s it about? “Are you kidding me” isn’t anything to go on.
