Plain-English Summary

The bill would create a pilot program allowing schools to serve more plant-based meals and test whether students accept and benefit from vegetarian and vegan lunch options. Schools participating in the program would receive funding and support to develop menus featuring fruits, vegetables, beans, and grains instead of meat-based dishes. The program aims to help school districts explore whether plant-based meals can reduce costs, improve student nutrition, and address environmental concerns while still meeting students' dietary needs.
