Surely this is a joke? This news item seems to be in most of the vegetarian press - a governmental order issued on October 2 this year says
all meals served in school canteens in France must contain animal
products - and that meat and fish will be served at a certain minimum
frequency. That will affect 6 million children. This implies that by law from now on no vegetarian can eat at
any public or private school in France.
It seems similar
decrees will be taken shortly regarding almost all forms of catering
from kindergarten to hospital, prisons and retirement homes.
Vegetarianism will then have effectively been banned for a large part of
the population. At a time when we need to reduce meat consumption this seems a crazy blow against individual human rights, the planet and of course animals. Read more
