Pork or nothing: how school dinners are dividing France

[Metanoia]

I thought you were smarter then that.

I am not perhaps. Would you please emphasize your point for my own better understanding sir?

We can agree and say they can easily get ride of the meat (When there is no fish) and eat the rest.

yes we can....however, how hard would it be to be able to choose what you wish? Here in European country xyz they get to choose what they want on the plate...i think that is much more cost effective than throwing away meal which kids did not eat and calling them ungrateful?

Thank you for the clarification!

Local culture should be respected,its not like they are being forced to eat pork.

Local culture is "its my choice"

So shouldnt that be respected?

You are what you eat - If you eat well,you will be well and if you eat bad, you'll feel bad.

Not what you said... eat chicken then you are a chicken...eat pig and your a pig.

Dont eat, no compulsion. That itself is respecting your choice.

Indeed. In prisons, there is an increasing science of food, which - if put together properly - can actually help reduce tension and violence in prisons.

You see thise in child/daycare too as well as in schools.

Try forcing a kid to eat something he/she doesn't like .... never gonna work > give choices.

Classical Dutch Bloedworst (blood sausage)

Great served with red cabbage and apple.

Looks quite good! We have some problem with junk food here(children started to get fat) but atlast this year junk food was banned in schools(the kids were sad) and some regulation made, but i dont think there is a fixed menu here. We still got long way to go in proper meals.

why the compulsion in giving it to them by force only to have to throw it in the bin? Like I suggested what is the harm in giving more vege to those who dont want it? Isnt that more economical to give what will be eaten and not wasted?

So prisoners eat better than Muslims in France? News to me actually!

 

[fallstuff]

Atheists are not bigots...They dont force their understanding esp if they can find scientific or logical reasoning...

Wasting food is not logical and providing vegetables is scientifically healthy....So I dont think that is the reason...


That sounds more like it....When you are rejecting something a Mullah is saying coz he is saying it under the religion banner....You yourself are also rejecting and subjecting others to "YOUR" version....

They have become nothing but a bashing intolerant Mullah while claiming rights to call a religious person the same

Utterly confused nation if you ask me!


I was gonna put that video up but was like meh...

Atheism is practiced like fundamental religion in France"

French ruling class folks are kind of Militant atheist (Russian: воинствующий атеизм) is a term applied to atheism which is hostile towards religion. Militant atheists have a desire to propagate the doctrine, and differ from moderate atheists because they hold religion to be harmful. Prime Example is this fellow ,

Richard Dawkins.

The kids got it easy now maybe not healthy but pizzas,chips etc. I remember the food we had used to make you sick.

Here in the U.K you'll get pork everywhere. As long as it's not 'eat pork or nothing' then there's no issue.

As i see the plate, the eater can just leave the pork stuff and eat rest of it.

Btw, what about the students who want to eat it. I suppose they are eating it as a part of their menu from centuries. Why would they just take it off the menu one fine day just becoz some minorities dont want it. Does not make any sense.

 

[fallstuff]

Pork is cheap, maybe not the healthiest one. If pork is the only meat on the menu, an observant student may choose not to pick it or can ask so that they are not served pork.
