Frédéric Daerden, vice-president of the Wallonia-Brussels federation, in charge of the budget and school buildings was the guest of Bel RTL morning on Monday. At the microphone of Martin Buxant, he mentioned the free school canteens and the desire to promote healthy eating.
D-7 before the start of the school year and good news for the wallets of some parents. 400 schools in the Wallonia-Brussels federation will offer healthy and free meals to kindergarten and primary school children. “It is a desire that we had to reinforce this free“, comments Frédéric Daerden. He explains that last year, a “pilot experience” had been carried out in this direction and that this year, it counts “stretch it” et “perpetuate it“.
In concrete terms, 32,000 students will benefit from free meals. But in addition to free, the vice-president of the Wallonia-Brussels federation wants to emphasize the fact that these meals are healthy. The question of vegetarianism in the canteens had been raised, the guest decided: “Meals with meat on certain days of the week.“But he also advocates”a certain freedom“through”double proposals for children and families“. So there will be two possible choices. As for the generalized Halal meals, he does not get wet much. He claims that there must be a double offer, vegetarian meal, Halal or other and “it is the school that must choose according to its students“.
