Sign of the times- PETA writes a letter to Obama about the alleged evils of meat, eggs and dairy products: Not a word about global warming

PETA Urges Obama to Give Kids Vegetarian School Lunches - Washington Whispers (usnews.com)
On behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and our more than 2 million members and supporters, thank you for saying that your administration is open to any idea, whether from "a Democrat or a Republican or a vegetarian." May I suggest an idea that would indisputably bolster the economy, reduce work days lost, improve the health of our nation's children, reduce medical costs, and spare millions of animals from needless suffering? Please direct the U.S. Department of Agriculture to end purchases of meat, eggs, and dairy products for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and replace them with healthy vegetarian foods like fruits, vegetables, veggie burgers, faux-chicken patties, and more.
