Manic Monday Is Now Meatless Monday For NY Schools

Bill de Blasio announced that Starting in September, 2019, New York Schools will observe a Monday meat moratorium and some students are already asking, “where’s the beef?”

#MeatlessMondays are a small way to make a big difference in the health of our @NYCSchools students and the future of our planet.

The best part? Our kids were the ones who made it happen. pic.twitter.com/LLTxL4Lonf

Great to hear all @NYCSchools are FINALLY going meatless EVERY Monday.

We are not taking climate change seriously unless we are talking about the astounding role animal agriculture and meat production plays in greenhouse gas emissions. #MeatlessMonday ?

#MeatlessMonday has always been about control and not health.

I’m having at least two cheeseburgers for lunch and a steak for dinner every “Meatless Monday”.
