Florida enacts veg school lunch resolution

On April 25th, the Florida House of Representatives enacted the Florida Healthy School Lunch Resolution (HR 9095) recommending a daily vegetarian school lunch option.

HR 9095 states in part: "Whereas school children who identify themselves as vegetarian or vegan or are from families who avoid meat and dairy foods are currently at a disadvantage if no appropriate school lunch meals are offered in their respective schools, be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Florida that ... all school districts and parents of school children in the state are urged to emphasize the importance of and to provide plant-based diets consisting of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes; including daily vegetarian entrée options." (Click here for full text.)

The resolution was introduced by Representative Susan Bucher at the request of FARM's CHOICE (of vegan school lunch) program headed by Susan Wieland. It follows on the heels of similar resolutions passed by Hawaii, California, and New York legislatures in recent years.


if you read the full text, it's really more because they're calling kids fat(it's worded weirdly), but whatever. it's still kinda cool.

That's pretty cool. I just wonder if the vegetarian kids will even eat the school lunches? The more health aware and food aware people I went to school with all brought theirs. I know I haven't had school cafeteria food since 3rd grade, and even then it was only once or twice.

i think it would probably have way more affect on the little kids...but it's nice to know you have the option, and that it's not pizza.
