John Salley Announces He’s Pro Vegetable, Anti Fast Food Rejected Meat

Basketball legend John Salley recently went to Congress to throw his support for the Healthy School Meals Act, H.R. 4870.
The bill, that would offer more plant based proteins and non dairy beverages in schools, currently has 51 co-sponsors in Congress, according to Afro.
Salley is eager to see these items on the menus, even if meat is still served besides them.
“It’s important for folks to know that I’m not against meat, I’m for fruits and vegetables, just like I’m not against war, I’m for peace,” Salley said.
Currently, in some schools, it may be better to send a child to McDonald’s for lunch.
A USA Today investigation found that many fast food giants like Jack in the Box require more rigorous testing for pathogens in meat used in their restaurants, testing it up to 5-10 times more than the USDA does for school lunches.
Or try packing some cat chow in the lunchbox.
Chicken normally only acceptable for pet food was also routinely accepted by USDA standards.
Just another reason to forgo the “mystery” meat, where unknown substances don’t just refer to animal parts.
