Parents are fuming after students at a Brit school will now only have meat-free school dinners - and have been told they have to make vegetarian packed lunches.Barrowford Primary School near Nelson, Lancashire, has made the decision to go permanently 'meat-free' and only offer veggie school dinners.Kids are also been asked to not bring meat in their packed lunches and instead go for the vegetarian option.The new rule was brought in last year, but a letter informing parents of the change was sent out on Thursday.The school claims it hasn't received any complaints about its meals.

However, on social media, unhappy parents have slammed the decision for a meat-free school, writes The Sun.Zoe Douglas said she is trying to transfer her children to a different school as she blasted the decision.She said: "It is a joke.

I'm looking to move mine as I've had enough of that school," she said."I think they forget that non-meat eaters and vegans have to take a lot of supplements.

What supplements they getting instead at that school?"Nothing, probably saving on food costs."She added that she had no idea that the change was brought in last year, and only found out why her daughter came home from school complaining over the "disgusting" new sausages.Zoe said: "I only found out this week in an email."Amelia ordered sausage and mash and when she bit into her sausage she said 'eww'."Teachers said, 'oh, it's a vegetarian sausage' but they hadn't told her before she ordered."She ended up just having mash for her dinner.
