Man does not live by bread alone. Except on Mondays.


The post title takes you to an explanation of a Baltimore brouhaha (moohaha?) over "Meatless Mondays" in school cafeterias. The beef and pork industry no like.

I was raised on a family farm. I think 4-H is a wonderful organization. I relish rare steak.

But feeding kids healthful vegetarian fare one day out of five does not deprive them of much-needed protein. Believe it or not, children all over the world eat beans and other foodstuffs instead of hamburgers and hotdogs every day of the week.

But going veggie for 1 meal out of 21 does deprive factory farms of a few dollars.
