Friggin' French Soup Nazi's.
Could be worse. Could be trans-fats. Another thing: there appear to be races all over the planet.
But, religion is not a race except maybe in the UN or some high French Ministry.
I don't, however, think that we'll ever see BBQ spareribs declared racist food, and banned, here.
As usual, the French surrender again.
What's the fuss?If a person chooses not to eat pork then don't eat it.No one is being forced to eat it are they?Solution?Perhaps a charitable org would like to step forward and give out free food to individuals with specific dietary requirements?No brainer:)
But the judge said the group’s Web site indicated it was a policy to refuse dessert to anyone who did not eat some soup first.

If you don't eat your pig-soup you can't have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your pig-soup?
Here is the Solidarity of the French website:

I translated some passages on there, and nothing seemed too extremist to me. I can tell that they don't like the "Islamization" (their words) of France, but they don't say anything about Jews.
I think it's ridiculous to tell a charity that they can't hand out soup or other food to the needy just because Muslims and Jews might not eat it. That's like saying no one can hand out anything with meat in it because vegetarians won't eat it.
This is ridiculous. Charities are being told what they can and can't serve in France. Europe is a lost cause. The Muslims will overtake it within half-a-century. Let's hope this Socialist mentality of trying to be fair to everyone and giving people rights to not be offended and calling soup 'racist' never makes it to our shores.
Just like starving africans who over the last 30 years or so have turned down food because of religious or cultural beliefs; if you are willing to starve to death over those beliefs, who am I to stop you. Meanwhile, those who take advantage of the offered meal should continue to have that opportunity.
I don't know about Europe, but I have known many Jews here in the U.S. who will eat pork in a restaurant or someone else's home. They just don't bring it into their own kitchens.
But as someone else noted, you can probably count the number of Jews who visit soup kitches on one hand.
I am willing to bet $100 that not a single Jew requested soup. This is all about Islam. It pisses me off that they are lumping Jews in with these Pisslamic maggots as a rationale for denying a permit.
It's not just France that took the Stupid pill - local or, small time charities here are often prohibited from giving away food, for it hasn't been inspected, detected, rejected, taxes paid, met OSHA, EPA requirements or some other rot nonsense. It's easy to see that centralization is the death of any sane society.
The rulers of France in 25 years:
I swear I remember the same thing being reported about these FREE Soup Kitchens being discriminatory to Jews and Muslims.
No one is being FORCED to eat the FREE food, sheesh.
Well, I can't blame the French for being afraid of the alienated Jewish youths rioting and burning cars.
My sole culinary experience involving a Muslim happened in 1976. A group of us graduate students decided to have a potluck. One classmate was a fellow from Pakistan named Sayed, whose only request was would we please let him know which covered dishes contained pork, so that he could abstain. That was it; no demands, no in-your-face, nothing. As I recall, just out of courtesy the rest of us brought beef or chicken dishes, while Sayed showed up with a magnificent vegetable pilaf.
It was a different time.
