.@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.

A banana and berries for breakfast will send these kids into blood sugar high and then low. Terrible high glycemic load for breakfast.

I said a banana and berries, AOC said a banana and peanut butter. I don’t know what you think most kids eat for breakfast, but I can guarantee you fresh fruit would be an improvement for the majority of them.

Fruit is not even food for humans. It's a novelty that we should never eat. It's worse than smoking.

Indeed modern fruit has been bred to have a far higher density of sugars than wild fruit, and most of hunter-gatherer ancestors did not even eat much wild fruit.

I read that a zoo had to discontinue bananas for the monkeys bc sugar content now so high it was destroying their teeth. I haven’t had banana in over 6years.
