The program comes after a group of vegan students requested plant-based food on the menu
The new menu will include a veggie burger, among other meals
Vegan food has been added to the menu of seven Los Angeles Unified School District [LAUSD] schools.
One vegan meal choice will be featured on the high schools' menu, as part of a pilot program introduced by former Board President - and vegetarian - Steve Zimmer.
The program was instituted after a group of vegan students launched a campaign - the Earth Peace Healthy Freedom campaign - which urged the board to adopt a vegan menu for LAUSD schools.
The students' campaign was also supported by animal rights activist and vegan actor Pamela Anderson.
Vegan
The pilot program, which was approved last May, is taking effect in one school in each of the seven school board districts.
The menu includes vegetarian chili with tortilla chips, a teriyaki veggie patty sandwich, a bean tamale, and a veggie burger.
The cost for the new plant-based dishes is the same as for other school meals. All lunches are free, or 40 cents for most LAUSD students; full-cost lunch is $3 to $3.50.

Considering that chicken nuggets and hamburgers cause cancer, this is a huge step in the right direction.

>Muh meat causes cancer
According to that list red meat has the same odds of causing cancer as working nights and drinking hot coffee or hot tea. Red meat isnt even a "known", just a "maybe" on that list since people who eat red meat overlap with people also get cancer in the west in the same way that people who eat red meat also get the flu or win scratch off lottery tickets or choose to buy a blue car. Maybe if you were talking specifically about overprocessed garbage like whackarnolds or cured meats, but just red meat is largely coincidental

Just like the time the WHO and the IARC classified coffee as a "possible carcinogen" and then backpedaled hard to the point where they claim coffee is now protective against cancer, this decision is motivated more by politics then by hard evidence. Call me in ten years when the long-term meta-analyses have been done and we're going off of more then just "potential" risk.

>Not under known, under probably

Wow, sure showed me copy pasting what I told you was there retard.

But the have proof that Animal protein consumption triggers the release of the cancer-promoting growth hormone IGF-1.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcIkhffzrkk
They aren't going to find some evidence that makes that go away. Increased IGF-1 makes cancer grow.
I'm sorry I know meat is very tasty and convenient. If you won't give it up at least eat cancer fighting foods with them (raw broccoli, berries)
>>175611
No you implied that red meat "maybe" causes cancer. But it's not a maybe, it's a high probability.
Do you think red meat causes increased IGF-1, but not cancer? How?
>>175614
Nice mockumentary I didn't click on because Youtube is not a valid source. You clearly are just shilling an agenda by this point and have no interest in serious discussion of the facts at hand provided they disagree in any way with your point. Bye.

>A hormone that builds muscle will also make tumors bigger if you already have cancer
:thinking:

Looks like you're running away from the scientific studies which demonstrate that meat consumption leads to cancer growth.
Here's the original source. All profits go to charity so you can really trust it.

Yes, IGF-1 stimulates cancer growth. What's your point, that it grows muscles too? It's not worth it.

Is charity his favorite whore? Half the site is snake oil and the other is "doctor" gregors magical cure all elixers
>>175620
You made that joke already. Charity as in all the profits go to helping people.
His grandmother was send home to die of heart disease. She went on a healthy diet and lived another 30 years. That's why Dr. Greger dedicates his life to uncovering the truth about health foods and disease.
Isn't that nice?
>>175621
Which "charity"
>>175620
What snake oil. and exliers are you referring to?
If spices lower blood pressure, that's not his fault. Foods can cure disease, my friend, it's the truth. Our leading killers, heart disease and diabetes, are curable with a whole food vegan diet.
This is the redpill nobody wants to hear.

All donations go straight to the 501c3 nonprofit that keeps the site running, providing free nutrition facts for the world. We would never be able to get this kind of information from a biased corporation.
>>175625
Are you really so bothered? You can hide the thread if you hate science that much.
>>175628
Oh boy I wonder what it "costs" to keep the site running
>>175630
You think he became a doctor just so he could run a website scam... that only receives money from donations?
The site doesn't even have ads. And the videos are too short to monetize on youtube, shut up already.
>>175633
>that only receives money
Really blasts your brain mass
>>175646
Not it doesn't. How do you run a charity without receiving money?
>>175649
Note the word "profits". Not "all money". a portion is taken to cover the costs, and then the remainder, what would be profit, is given away. The question now is how much does it "cost" him to operate the site? Does he state this
>>175676
>The snake oil cured his nan, that proves he isnt a con artist!
Leave this thread to die, you arent the first to try reason and you wont be the last. Best to suffocate the thread of attention before he starts spamming every vegan story he finds to spread the good word of saint gregor and his cure to all diseases and ailments and unpleasent humors

He managed to bump a thread to its limit. It is best to ignore the vegan op to wallow in his autism.

I hadn't realized biochemistry in humans had been mapped out in its entirety, or far along enough to the point to where we could start making strong declarations on insulin growth factor. To think what we can accomplish in less than 100 years time - it appears humans just aren't that complicated after all.
You may be on the right track, but you also may be very far from the truth. You could be offering people advice and knowledge on potential risks, but you're hardly in a position of authority on the subject to be demeaning to people. Your snarky attitude just makes it easier to treat you like the child you behave like.

All this information was stated in the faq I posted. It's a basic charity that functions like a basic charity does.
Quit trying to cast doubt. It's such a low argument.

Bruh, wrong post? I'm not arguing for him

Yeah it's a basic charity and most charities are a scam. He probably bills his hours as a medical consultant and consider any reading of any medical material research. He's probably paying himself 200 bucks and hour and he's accountable to...no one. He probably doesn't even read half of what he claims. When the audit comes in he points to the website and goes "see this is my work it's totally worth the 120 g's I pay myself a year lol"
>>175779
>Yeah it's a basic charity and most charities are a scam
That might be a fair point, but I'm not sure it's true. Especially a charity like this one, where he's only getting donations for random people. It's not like he's going after tax dollars.
>120 g's
Regular doctors make more than that, but I understand the point you're making.
We shouldn't trust anybody, not even charities.
The good thing is all the information he presents is just the latest scientific studies on food and medicine. You can check out his sources for yourself, it's all right there. Click sources, it shows them all.
