Most of the meat at schools now is actually vegetarian, or at least at my highschool. I like it that way Im against meat really my dad doesn't like the whole vegetarian thing I did for a whole summer so I just eat alot less maybe twice a week. Id rather raise my own chickens to eat because I know their healthy, happy, and I know what they have ate and how they are raised, I just could never butcher them myself I would want to know it was as painless as possible though. I do not buy KFC totally against it (my mom got coupons in the mail I shredded them SHHHH!), I do not agree with how large commercial chicken farmers raise and butcher their chickens. Sometimes their are so many chickens in one place they get amonia burns, do you really wanna eat that? and so many chemicals and things to make them grow so fast they can't walk and rats can easily get to them. I definatly do NOT want to eat that. Try to explain that to your son's teacher. Totally agree with you "TheDuckCrew", but I wouldn't mention the "P" word you'll get in trouble because some people don't really agree with them here, already found that out.
