    The children might not be able to digest meat well if they don’t eat it in schools

        you most certainly don’t! but you do need meat if you want to maintain your ability to digest meat

      I’ve heard of this, but I’m not sure it’s true, after searching I can’t find a source that says it is either, are you aware of any studies that suggest this is true?

      I’m not advocating removing meat from school meals either, just that everyone is catered for.

        In general people can switch between meat and nonmeat diets -but the relevant gut microbiota are different and I don’t know if children would know enough to ease into meat-eating again as needed, or to realize that that’s what’s going on when their tummy hurts
