Now, they&#8217;ve nixed mozzarella sticks.<\/p>\n<p>New York City public schools are going vegan on Fridays under a new policy from Mayor Eric Adams (D.). School cafeterias will serve only vegan food with the exception of milk, a result of USDA guidelines. Menu offerings in February include black bean and plantain rice bowls, Mediterranean chickpeas, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The policy strengthens the move to &#8220;meatless&#8221; Monday and Friday school lunches instituted by former mayor Bill de Blasio (D.).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Plant-based meals are delicious and nutritious, which is why I previously called for vegetarian and vegan options in schools,&#8221; Adams said. &#8220;I&#8217;m thrilled to see that all students will now have access to healthy foods that will prevent debilitating health conditions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <em>New York Daily News<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/new-york\/education\/ny-nyc-public-school-cafeterias-vegan-fridays-20220203-hnickonlf5hhfmvvgx4fvgzjbq-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> only that two of the five principals with whom they spoke were aware of the change in lunch policy. One acknowledged that getting kids to eat the vegan meals could prove &#8220;quite challenging.&#8221; No parents or students were aware of the new, vegan-only offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Adams&#8217;s vegan crusade began when he was Brooklyn borough president. He has credited his vegan diet with reversing a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. In 2020, he published&nbsp;<em>Healthy at Last<\/em>, an account of his switch to a strict plant-based diet.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latest News Milk still on the menu due to USDA guidelines  New York City mayor Eric Adams (D.) \/ YouTube  Josh Christenson \u2022 February &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1271084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1271084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1271084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1271084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1271084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1271084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1271084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
