Vegetarians banned in French schools

[Catherine]

I had no idea things were like that in France. I always think of it as a democracy. It is not much of a democracy if they make rules about children's school lunches.

How can they ban children from bringing food from home?
I am sure many children can't go home for lunch. They are either saying they don't trust parents to feed their children properly or they are saying they want to control what children eat. That is extreme government interference.

Is this an attack on vegetarianism or an attack on parental rights?
Platy you are so right, this is incredibly dictatorial and sad.
