Statement in Support of the Healthy Plant-Centered School Foods Resolution

The Christian Vegetarian Association is a non-denominational ministry of nearly 2000 members who favor a plant-based diet because it benefits God’s earth, poor and hungry people, God’s animals, and our God-given bodies. Many Christians hold that a plant-based diet accords with their core beliefs, and out of respect for those beliefs we request that the State of New York offer healthy, plant-based foods for its children.

Sincerely,

Stephen R. Kaufman, M.D., co-chair
