I think it's ridiculous to prevent Danish children from eating what they like. Why can't they serve both and let people have a choice!
Our college starts this week and regular schools next week I think.

I think the way they try to cater to certain people is getting out of control. We now have meatless Mondays. We used to have them on Fridays but they did not want to seem to be showing favoritism to Catholics who eat no meat on Fridays. Why they can't just offer a vegeterain dish as a choice for those who want it and not force meat eaters to give up what they like?

Jewish people eat no pork either but the meat they eat has to be kosher. They should be represented too if they are going to do it for the Muslims.

It is getting so bad in our area that even if a parent sends lunch to school with their child, sometimes the school won't let them eat it because they say it is 'unhealthy'. Wish the government would keep their noses out of lunch boxes!!!
