– How if any has your\nchild’s school made any improvements in offering more fruits and vegetables or\neven vegan\/ vegetarian options? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One parent in Florida said: My son\u2019s school\ndoes Meatless Monday\u2019s, a daily salad bar, and labels vegan items on the\nmonthly menu with a V. They also have a \u2018healthy school policy\u2019 – no junk food\nor sugary drinks, and birthdays are not celebrated with food. Another parent\nindicated: My children’s elementary school added a salad bar this year and it’s\nbeen a big hit. It’s included with the meal or 50 cents ala cart. Now my\ndaughter loves raw spinach and broccoli. And another parent said: My daughter\u2019s\nschool was forced into making vegan choices as there was another kid with a\ndairy allergy. However they needed a lot of help on what was considered vegan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
