Children whose parents want them to live a vegan lifestyle — or a stone-age or fruitarian one for that matter — will have to bring their own food to school, a Berlin court ruled on Wednesday.
While it might seem that veganism has become the dominant form of nutrition in certain neighborhoods of Berlin — and no meat-based restaurant’s opening is likely to set off a police operation — Berlin judges still bracket the diet with fads such as fruitarianism and raw foodism.
On Wednesday, Berlin’s administrative court stated that schools are not obliged to bow to the dietary diversity of parents and children, such as “paleo, low carb, low fat, raw foodism, fruitarianism, or veganism”. …

Okay.
What about Halal?
If a refugee Muzzie wants vegan he is going to get it.
The case originated in the borough of Köpenick, which is in East Berlin.
My first thought.
It will all be halal as soon as the islamic baby pinchers overwhelm the intelligent working people. The EU is being destroyed by suicidal morons.
They’re being foolishly stubborn. A vegan diet is way, way cheaper and it avoids all the various religious prohibitions on this or that kind of meat. Beans have plenty of protein. You mix them with rice so they digest better and you have a nutritious meal for pennies and a lot less clean-up. If you fix them with no dairy (no butter or fat) clean up is grease-free and painless. I’ve switched to a vegan diet in the last few months and I’m losing weight, saving money, saving time, generating less waste and plastic... it’s all good. And if parents want their kids eating meat and dairy they can feed them that at night. A vegan lunch won’t kill anyone.
I have an idea, why don’t folks bring their own damn lunches to school, and get schools out of the restaurant business.
That would be nice, but a 7 year old doesn’t have much choice if their parents are deadbeats.
Oh, you’d be surprised how deadbeats would wise up once they realize they’re responsible for feeding their kids.
Some do. My father was not one of them.
Why should that be my problem?
Okay. You win, I have no comeback for that. As of now, all school lunches are abolished. Your refund check is in the mail.
Woo Hoo!
The problem is this is how we get to the Nanny State, it starts out with good intentions, but it inevitably snowballs, and people's choices are taken away.
Foolish is believing that eating beans & rice is providing a full complement of all the necessary amino acids.
For grins you might want to check out The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz. She’s a former vegan & has an interesting perspective based on reality.
I can sue for this now? I’m vegan and we’re having a work picnic Friday. Guess what? I bring my own food. It’s not that difficult if you’re not perpetually offended.
As anal as the Germans are about public education, I’m surprised they don’t order a standard meal which all students are required to eat. If they have jaw surgery, it would be ground up and stuck down them with a feeding tube.
Seriously, in WWI, German soldiers were all required to defecate once, and only once, every day, at the same time. Enemy artillerymen would regularly shoot propaganda leaflets at them, then hold their fire for the Germans to gather the leaflets and read them. And this quiet time happened to fit their defecation time, giving the Germans something to read and free toilet paper.
Until one artillery unit decided to fire leaflets, then wait until the Germans had exited their holes to poop, then hit them hard with high explosive artillery. The Germans thought this was very unsporting.
I didn’t say to eat it for every meal. But for lunch? They’d survive.
Well as I said... your check is in the mail. Of course I have also abolished the postal service so if you don’t get it... not my problem.
You implied that some dysfunctional families send their kids to school without lunch because they don’t care. I’d expect some of these same families don’t provide balanced meals at home either, or do they suddenly giveashit?
Am I assuming too much? If this assumption is correct, wouldn’t you want these same kids to get at least one complete meal a day 180 days during the school year?
