News from Meat Free Monday:
Meat free eating is truly a global phenomenon at the moment, winning the support of local authorities, businesses and government agencies across the world.
Japan’s Cabinet Office and Cabinet Secretariat recently launched a weekly veggie menu at their staff canteen, while the German Environment Ministry has banned meat from being served at official functions. Portugal’s parliament voted in favour of public canteens providing at least one vegan option, and in France The National Agency for Food Safety (Anses) changed its guidelines to suggest people eat less meat and more pulses and wholegrains.
Meanwhile, two workers at the Danish company Novo Nordisk took matters into their own hands by organising a meat free day at their staff canteen in Hillerød – and it’s looking like this may result in regular meat free days for thousands of employees!
Forward-thinking companies in the UK are inspiring us to be greener and healthier too, with Pret opening its second veggie outlet and innovative new company allplants delivering tasty, nutritious, hand-prepared dinners to doorsteps nationwide. allplants is kindly offering UK-based MFMers the chance to win one of three plant-powered meal packages – enter the prize draw below.
