Vegetarians banned in French schools

[Catherine]

I can see the problem with lunch being the most important meal. (I eat my lunch on the bus travelling between clients so it has to be something portable) The children need a good hearty meal. However there still should be a choice. I don't just mean vegetarian choices, there should be choices. It is not fair to force them all to eat the same meal. Surely the workers who go to restaurants together still get to make their own choices about what to eat.

You are so right to call it unfair and intolerant.

It is also not smart. Not everybody can eat the same foods. There are many food allergies and sensitivities. Surely people in France have the same health problems as the rest of the world. Some children would be forced to eat foods that make them sick. That is a terrible thing. The poor child would do poorly because they would feel sick so much of the time. No government has the right to do that.

Will parents try to sue the government?

If they make it a rights issue, the vegetarians might win out when everyone else protects their own rights.
