Please Sir Can I have some more Kale? MORE KALE??????
Remember that famous line from a fast food restaurant where this adorable little senior citizen walks up to the counter of a fast food restaurant and demands to know where the beef was. Who can forget it she was just so emphatic. If you don't remember that commercial maybe you are just too young. Well just recently I read that a public school, yes I did say public school in Queens, New York, has gone vegetarian and OMG the students actually like it. The school system stays within their food budget and everyone is happy. The ones seeming to have the problems are parents not the kids. A parent in Doncaster smuggled in some greasy food I guess because she thought her poor child was going through some kind of fat withdrawal. Shame on her!
The great thing about this whole "movement to go vegetarian" is maybe there is some hope that the American diet can be changed and the change can be brought about by our kids. Of course parents have to cooperate but it could happen right? After all Americans have problems with cholesterol and other dietary related problems. This could help that as well especially when habits are formed in youth.
With the price of beef and other animal base proteins on the rise, going vegetarian seems like a good idea. My problem is I really don't know how to cook vegetarian dishes so that they are appealing and varied. But in the article they talked about a black bean and cheese quesadilla. That sounds easy and yummy for that matter. Maybe I can start small. I have attached the link below if you would like to read the article.
