Public schools in New York City will be going meat-free once a week starting this fall.
NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio just announced 'Meatless Mondays', with schools offering exclusively vegetarian options for breakfast and lunch. Students will still be welcome to pack their own lunches that contain meat.
Mayor de Blasio said cutting down on meat will "improve New Yorkers' health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions". 'Meatless Mondays' will go into effect with the 2019/20 school year.
How would you feel if your child's school started 'Meatless Mondays'? How often do you eat meat-free meals? Ever tried to live on a vegetarian or vegan diet?
