I'm sorry, but I've cooked some really bad vegan meals in the past as far as trans fats (margarine) and high-glycemic foods go (potatoes).


Not to mention rice and pasta! Just because it's vegan doesn't mean that it's healthier. I'd also like to point out that sugar is vegan as well as fruit juice and corn syrup.
Improving school menus is a great idea, but implying that the only way that this can be done is through vegan choices is downright misleading but then that's very typical of PCRM's tactics.

It's a little like being flunked by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association for not serving beef three times a week, said Sue Hoggan, an area food service supervisor for the district.


Touche', Ms. Hoggan and nicely said!
