Meat Off the Menu in Lyon

The 'green' mayor of Lyon has, for now, taken meat off the city's school menus (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/feb/24/meatless-school-menu-sparks-political-row-in-france). The mayor, Gregory Doucet, claims that 29,000 children cannot be served with a choice of a meat-dominated or vegetarian meal, in the 2 available hours for socially-distanced lunches. Everyone needs to eat less meat, if we want to actively counter climate change. I suspect that there would also be a fuss if vegetarians couldn't get their meal. Removal of meat was, however, always guaranteed to cause uproar amongst the farmers and restaurateurs of France! It's the end of the world!
