      Who did the meat industry have to pay to get a law passed saying that their product MUST be served at schools?

        I’m not sure it’s a law per se but more guidance that schools should endeavour to serve children a balanced diet which will include portions of meat/fish/poultry/dairy.

          Nah you can have healthier options for a balanced diet without raising your risk for chronic disease such as legumes, whole grains, whole grain bread , nuts and seeds, soy products, vegetables, plant-based protein powders and meat substitutes.

      The whole foods plant-based diet lowers the risk from chronic disease such as heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes, obesity.
