Told you meat at school was bad idea

After attempting to teach the evils of meat to our children, there was a 143 million pound recall that was too late for our kids in this school system. Turns out, 384 lbs. of the recalled meat from Westland was made into taco meat and fed to our children at Fox River Grove Middle School in April and the months after of 2007.

You can confirm this with Jim Copp, Principal Consultant Division of Nutrition Programs and Support Services, Illinois State Board of Education.

The USDA announced the recall for fears of mad cow disease. I was fired for trying to warn the kids and if just one of them gets the human equivalent of mad cow disease, who are we to blame? How sad it would be if one Fox River Grove child, just one child, gets a brain wasting disease through our fault?

I know what you are thinking. It cannot happen here. Meat and dairy have no place in the school lunch program. Animals were never food. We were raised wrong. We are teaching wrong.
