.@AOC Admire you greatly, but before you tell NYC school children to give up milk and meat, consider that you may not realize the effect on health. Children need these foods to grow strong, healthy bodies. "Unethical" to deny them these foods, says prof.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/children-on-meat-free-diets-suffer-impaired-growth-5544402.html …

Wrong. It’s completely ethical! They’ll thank us later for saving them from dairy and red meat. The standard American diet needs a serious revision—& starting with young children is the best way to ensure it sticks.

Moving away from a diet that includes meat rids people of vital nutrients. If an adult wants to move to a vegan or vegetarian diet, that's their prerogative. Doing this intentionally to children and causing them to become malnourished is absolutely unethical.

You don’t get malnourished from skipping the eggs and bacon (or pop tarts more likely) for breakfast and replacing it with a banana and some berries. Stop being so dramatic and spreading untruths.

Replying to @mgorena @vahuebner and
The comment I replied to eluded to removing red meat and dairy from diet entirely, not just reduce it. I agree, making better choices is important, my issue lies with complete removal of red meat and dairy from a child’s diet.

The only thing worse than a control freak is a fanatical control freak (which they tend to become after they learn that mild measures don't give them control).
