About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

The district menu is being revamped, so it's time for a beneficial change:
Meat-Free Mondays!
All over the US and Europe, restaurants, hospitals, and schools are having one meatless meal, once a week. This is because that small change greatly benefits our health, the environment, and animals!

Your Health:
Eating meat has been linked to many cancers (and increases your risk by 40%), heart disease (which is the #1 cause of death in the US), diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and many more health problems!

Our Planet:
Meat production produces more greenhouse gases than all of the transportation (airplanes, ships, truck, etc) in the world- COMBINED! Not to mention it's also the #1 cause of deforestation (significantly impacting biodiversity and endangered species habitat). A single pound of meat takes 16 pounds of grain to produce (if we ate less meat, there would be far more food to feed people).

The Animals:
Each year in the US roughly 9 billion animals are killed for 'food'. Farm animals are raised on factory farms where they are often suffer traumatic abuse (basically torture), filthy conditions, psychological torment. Frequently they are beaten, boiled or even skinned alive.

By cutting back on meat one day a week, Shoreline, can significantly improve student health, our environmental footprint, and animal welfare!
LET'S DO THIS SHORELINE!

This is what the Humane Society of the United States has to say about it:
