Seeing the free meals provided by our schools over COVID they would cover their protein requirements by cheese there was rarely meat in any of the meals.

Use punctuation.

I don't think that's a bad thing on its own. Meat isn't the only source of protein that exists and Americans probably eat too much of it.

Starting from an early age to not expect meat at every meal otherwise it's not a meal is probably a good thing.

Honestly more worried about the salt and fat from the cheese, though I guess most meat stuff would be similar.
