OK, I'll be the skeptic on this. First it should NOT be about being meatless. That is NOT a pre-requisite for a healthy diet (We ALL KNOW THIS right?). Secondly, you know what they will do...soyburgers instead of hamburgers, geasy/slimey cheese pizzas instead of pepperoni pizza, the usual white refined flour products, the usual heavily fried and oil drenched foods, TVP everywhere for that meat like texture and taste. And everything heavily processed and full of SOS to make it "palatable" to the kids. It has to be this way because they always go to the lowest bidder for food service that will meet all the silly, not health related requirements. All you will see is yet more "food" not being eaten and going to waste...or the unhealthy, cheapest, processed "vegetarian" food that most vegetarians already eat way too much of.
C.R.A.P. is still C.R.A.P. whether its animal or vegetable based.
These kinds of programs are NOT about healthy eating or nutrition, they are about image...looking like they care...and making themselves feel important...we see these kinds of programs fail virtually everywhere they are tried...over and over again...sigh
