In the land of coq-au vin, blanquette de veau and boeuf bourguignon, meat-free meals in schools are a sacrilege, as far as some French government ministers are concerned. So a decision by the Ecologist Green Party mayor of Lyon that only vegetarian meals will temporarily be served in the city's schools due to meat supply problems caused by the pandemic, led to vehement criticism by the agriculture and interior ministers. They in turn were sharply rebuked by the environment minister, in an unusual display of discord within the cabinet. Citing logistics problems, Lyon's mayor Gregory Doucet decided to temporarily provide the city's 29,000 school children meals without meat from Monday, although the city will still serve eggs and fish.
