A google search for "France bans" mostly turns up "France bans ketchup", which is the food guidelines story Andy just linked to, and "France bans street prayer", which is France being over-so-slightly anti-Muslim racist, but also vehemently anti-public-religion in general. French bans on burqas and other obvious religions muslim symbols have also extended to the rather ostentatious crucifixes that plenty of French people wear around their necks as well, although the cynic in me wonders how strongly that ban will be enforced.

The supposed ban on ketchup is in fact a far more reasonable "you can't have ketchup all the goddamn time, this is France, not the US, and kids need to learn about French food traditions, which don't involve ketchup all the bloody time".
