School cafeteria food is the nutrition-of-last-resort for many American children.

There are obvious environmental and health benefits to making the American diet more plant-based, but given the nutritional and caloric density that lean meat can offer, I'm not sure that depriving kids without enough good food at home the option to eat meat at school is a good thing.

I don't know what NYC public school is like compared to the average district, but doesn't the general problem of low quality, highly processed food in schools dwarf the issue of meat?
