French government outraged at Lyon mayor's reasoning for removing meat from school lunches
Fox News
Lyon Mayor Grégory Doucet, a member of France's Greens party who took office in July 2020, is being skewered for his decision to remove meat from school cafeterias in the interest of streamlining lunch service and promoting more balanced meals amid the pandemic.
Gérald Darmanin, France’s Minister of the Interior, called Doucet out on Twitter, claiming the policy was an "unacceptable insult to French farmers and butchers." He also accused the Greens, overall, of making decisions without regard for the country’s working class with their "scandalous ideology." "Many children often only have the canteen to eat meat," argued Darmanin, a member of President Emmanuel Macron’s La République En Marche! party.More Related News
