Anger as Swiss council plans non-pork school lunches
    #23424001 -

Politicians with the conservative Swiss People’s Party believe school authorities in Basel have caved to religious minorities in their decision to take pork off the school lunch menu in the coming school year.

Pork sausages are as much a part of Swiss cuisine as fondue and chocolate – so much so that a decision to remove them from the lunch menus of four primary schools in the district of Binningen in Basel-Country has left some local politicians fuming.

“We are outraged. When we first hear [about the decision] we thought we weren’t reading it right,” Swiss People’s Party representative Susanna Keller said at a local council meeting on Monday.

Speaking at the meeting, she argued that sausages such as the Klöpfer – a boiled sausage similar to the cervelat – were part of Switzerland’s cultural heritage.

“Could it be that we are adapting to certain cultures, rather than the other way around,” Keller said, according to local daily the Basellandschaftliche Zeitung.

In a formal information request provided to the council, the Swiss People’s Party asked if the decision would lead to “more demands in future”, without specifying what such demands could be.

But a spokesperson for the local council said the decision to remove pork from the menu came in response to a school survey which showed that around five percent of parents did not want pork on the menu. The reasons had not been investigated.

“That wouldn’t be standard practice. When someone tells you their child is vegetarian, you don’t ask why,” the spokesperson said.

The official stressed that there was no talk of a “ban” on pork.

“If the caterer wants to serve up cervalat salad then he can. But he also has to offer an alternative,” the spokesperson said.

The Swiss People’s Party are now calling for an investigation into why some parents are requesting the removal of pork from the school lunch menu. They also want a cost analysis done, arguing that alternatives could come out more expensive.

But with the local council about to enter into summer recess, the party will have to wait until September, or after the school year begins, for an official response.

The row in Binningen echoes similar debates in France where mayors from three towns banned non-pork options in canteens , a move that sparked accusations of discrimination.

In response to the ban, one politician argued that French schools should go vegetarian.

Good, pork is fattening.

Negative point to this, it puts pig farms out of business.

God save the little piggies...

I won't let them push me away

Why can't they offer an alternative menu, instead of taking pork completely off the menu?

Even Switzerland? I thought their border checks (and expensive entrance fee) kept out this sort of trouble.

Oh well, the demons won't care what you eat, they want your souls.

That sentence is the only one that matters. The rest is sensationalization.

I know they eat meat...but claim it's somehow different because a 'prayer was said beforehand'.
