you said "April 2011" in future tense. it is now march of 2012. so;
a. you didn't notice that this took effect about a year ago.
or b. you meant to write "April 2012."

Wasn't he referring to the comment regarding how the french also disallowed the wearing of turbans and such? It doesn't really matter when the thread article was posted, in that case, considering they don't regard the same subject...
As an edit, upon rereading it... Are you really nitpicking about the choice of future tense versus past tense o.0?

Re: France forbids vegetarian and vegan food in the schools
moving back on to the topic, 7 - 11 percent of the uk population (which is similar to the french one) are vegetarians which is about 4 million people, and 23 percent are vegetarian or meat reducers, also there are some health disorders where people just don't have the choice to eat meat due to the chemical content in a lot of meat, and some have religious reasons preventing them from eating it (yes I know france has kind of banned that too)

It is a direct copy-paste from the Wiki article it was linked to. You can blame them for whatever mistakes they made.

Are you like trying to be misleading as possible with the title?
Each meal must have some sort of meat in it. As long as the vegetarian avoids the part of the meal that has meat, they can have a vegetarian meal. How dependent are these kids on government meals anyway?

Re: France forbids vegetarian and vegan food in the schools
but does avoiding the meat leave them with a substantial meal?

Re: France forbids vegetarian and vegan food in the schools
That has nothing to do with banning vegetarian food. The point of ensuring that the students who eat meat can get some.
If the vegetarians aren't getting a substantial meal, then they have to either eat the animal product, or stop depending on central authority to distribute their food.

are school meals cheaper than a packed lunch?

Absolutely not... But if you're poor you can qualify for free lunch but it only comes with an entree and two sides and milk. You can't have more or less than that. I think just an order of chicken nuggets is like 2.00 for about 5 or so. A slice of pizza is 2.50. I forget how much a full meal was since I rarely got it. I only got what I wanted and that was it.

You're free to speak any religious message in France, you just can't wear overt religious symbols.

Re: France forbids vegetarian and vegan food in the schools
for some people wearing the veil etc is important because parts of the koran tell them that it is necessary, also to show that they are not equals with god, and to hide men who may find them sexually attractive

Hypersensitive people who think that testicles and chesticles are vulgar and disgusting, unless they belong to themselves.

There is no victim, so it really shouldn't be a crime.
Edit:
Perhaps some people would think they are a victim if they had to seen an ugly person they didn't want to see, or if their children had to see nude people. I don't think these count as a legitimate grievances to required government action.
Regardless, if you want to argue that there are victim-less crimes of expression that fall under obscenity or something like that, then you better have a pretty clear definition of obscenity and explanation of how religious symbols are obscene.

He's probably referring to the ban on the headscarves worn by muslim women. Which is wrong. Haven't you ever read the Human Rights Declaration?

Re: France forbids vegetarian and vegan food in the schools
that sucks, for the vegans, as for vegetarians they'd just eggs eggs, and milk.. to go around that , unless it says "strictly MEAT" on it (not gonna read because I'm just not in the mood to read long worded paragraphs/texts...)
well, knowing this, they might do something to change it... unless they already did..

I read it now, and see nowhere it disallows such a ban.
