Very cool, if true

The French ban thing (okay, it isn't technically a ban) seems like a very dogmatic approach to me. I don't think that a vegetarian diet is essentially unhealthy for children of school age (although I have yet to be convinced about vegan diets).

In addition to the "won't eat" people, what about the "can't eat" people? They say that they can only offer one meal option per day. Do they take equal care for gluten intolerant children? For lactose intolerant children? What about nut allergies? Are they just going to decide that everyone who isn't catered for by their particular diet just has to go elsewhere?

I recall my school offering many different options, with separate salad bar and snack bar. It seems that France's restrictions are more like sheer bloody mindedness than due to any practical reasoning.
