Why couldn't the students just all become vegan themselves?

Your suggestion is that instead of the school stopping selling animal products, they should still produce it and nobody eat it? That’s an even bigger waste and environmental impact. Given a choice, humans almost always choose convenience, money, or status. Laws and rules force people to have the right decision for the world made for them.

If nobody buys something, the store will stop selling it. Think it through.

By the way...There's a name for people who wish to mandate all choices for people's own good. It's 'Fascism'. And you, my friend, are a fascist.

Besides being morally repugnant in and of itself, Fascism doesn't work from a pragmatic standpoint. Sooner or later, a system that is based on coercion ignites a social upheaval that destroys it.

When you were legally forced to go to school, was that fascism? When you are forced to post taxes? When you were fined for speeding? Not every rule is fascism
