So a popular news publication here in Norway recently did a piece talking about how the Green party was "demanding" that school lunches should be vegetarian.
My take on it was "Okay, so it'll most likely be less expensive overall (possibly helping lead to school lunch programs actually getting fucking implemented in the first place, which they aren't), more readily accommodating of religious/cultural differences and thereby again cut costs, and there's the side benefit of reducing processed/red meat intake and also maybe something about the environment. Sounds pretty decent to me, actually".
But there was a comments section. Oh lord, the comments section. You'd think the Greens were holding the government at gunpoint and demanding violent genital mutilation of all citizens, considering the responses being written to the suggestion that the school-provided lunches which don't even fucking exist yet should be meat-free by default.
Now, I'm not actually a big fan of the Greens... They have a tendency to act like idiots. But I don't think this move, of all things, should be enough to constitute outlawing the entire party; as some Facebook geniuses are trying to push.
No, no, this is not an attempt by the Green party to poison and malnourish your child, you fucking mong. It's five fucking meals a week. Your kid will survive.
