James Cameron to launch America’s first all-vegan elementary school

Proving that he can dream up more than white savior stories, James Cameron is reportedly preparing to launch America’s first vegan—sorry, plant-based—elementary school this fall. That would be the MUSE School in Calabasas, California, a parody Twitter account come to life that was founded by Cameron’s wife Suzy Amis Cameron and her sister in 2005. At a fundraiser for the school at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, Cameron said that as of fall 2015, the school would serve an all-plant cafeteria menu. But don’t call it vegan: “The average person would say vegan, but we say whole food, plant-based. It’s about raising kids who don’t think it’s strange or exotic or worthy of a pat on the back to be doing the right thing for the living biosphere,” Cameron says. Whether the Camerons got the idea from an unaired Portlandia sketch is unknown.

I got to 'living biosphere' and snotted all over my keyboard.

**hotsauceman1**

And this is bad why? I mean the month I went vegan I almost died.....but I know a few who make it a good lifestyle.

**Chongara**

Seems nice. A lot of the Vegan Crowd holds their beliefs pretty strongly. I don't see any reason to begrudge or chuckle at this over say, religious schools.

**NuggzTheNinja**

They have a lot of nerve saying veganism is the "right thing for the living biosphere." Here are a couple living biosphere inhabitants...go tell them they're doing it wrong.

I begrudge religious schools because it has no place in education, much like veganism.

Human production of animal products does have a pretty adverse affect on the environment. We're not guys on foot chasing around prey animals with wooden sticks anymore. The kind of methods required to produce meat at an obtainable price point for any meaningful portion of the population are inherently destructive. It's land and energy intensive and produces a lot of waste.

I'm not about give up BBQ or anything, but it's silly to pretend like the products I enjoy don't have a pretty steep environmental cost. It's downright nonsense to compare the process that gets me a burger or plate of ribs to Lions hunting.

Speak for yourself.

The psychic powers aren't a bad side effect, though.

I didn't even get that far on my first attempt. Really had to wade through the BS to get to that...

**JohnHwangDD**

Vegan?

That's the food that my food eats!

But where can you get a good zebra at this hour?

**daedalus**

That is always the question. Most places will claim it's zebra, but then turns out it was just horse meat. The sharpie on the cooked meat was a dead giveaway.

Until you've had one too many Chicken Parmesan.

So, what's so wrong about this?

**Frazzled**

1. Humans are omnivores.
2. Meat tastes good.
3. Its a simple sign that your menfolk are no longer menfolk.

I know men who are vegans that can wipe the floor with most near eaters on this forum

Please with the phone speak!

I'm not certain what near eaters have to do with this thread. I'm certain if you have a regular diet of near you might be a badass.

You know, from a medical standpoint, cutting out meat and fish is not healthy.

Anyone who says otherwise is clearly lacking in intellect. Or research.

**Frazzled**

As a Texan, it is required that we eat animals, especially terrifying ones. We honor them by eating them, and thus gaining their strength.

This is an old secret learned from the Iroquois. Sadly after Napoleon's defeat the French couldn't afford meat, and look what happened to them.

**Tannhauser42**

Vegan or not, my number one criteria regarding what I eat is: does it taste good?

Pigs are not what I would consider terrifying.

But they are *very* delicious.

Mmm... Bacon.

Thank you for saying I'm dumb because I'm a vegetarian!

There's plenty of replacement products for meat, though I guess they aren't as "manly" or something like that.

As a teen, I used to spank as a replacement for having sex. Sex is better. So is meat.

But, hey, no judging. If you prefer meatless food and spanking over red meat and sex, it's no problem for me.

No, I've not. I've seen many a pig at the farm and fair, and know they are Perfectly Edible and Tasty Animals.

**Overlord Thraka**

Is it bad that I'm vegitarian due to the fact that I've never come across a meat I think actually tastes good? All the meat I've ever tried has been... bleh. And it's not poorly prepared either by brother loves meat, but he's the least manly man I know. (Geeky not girly)

I dunno. I'm not against carnivores. I've just never tasted a meat I enjoy.

This is the same reasoning, verbatim, for why I go for methamphetamine over any opium. It's just good science.

Clearly you've never been to the Southeastern part of the US:

Wild Boar are fething ridiculous...

Also, On Topic, I think that, as a Private School this place has as much right to exists as do all the religious based schools that teach junk as "science"... I don't think it's a good idea, but sadly, knowing that part of the country, it will probably take off a bit.

On the plus side, the school will probably be filled with anti-vaxxer kids and the school will probably wipe itself out in short order.
