Did you know that until 1956, French schoolchildren were actually served wine at lunch?
Each child was allowed up to four glasses a day—even kids as young as six! At the time, wine was seen as a normal and even healthy part of daily life.
But as health research advanced, authorities realized the risks. In 1956, France officially banned wine in schools—replacing it with milk, juice, and water.
This strange but true story is more than just a quirky historical fact. It’s a reminder that:
👉 What one generation sees as “normal” may be unthinkable in the next.
👉 Real progress often means questioning traditions—especially when it comes to protecting children.
