Vegan menu leaves Cambridge council with leftovers

From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

With Edinburgh having just committed to axing meat from all its schools, the burghers of Cambridge seem distinctly unimpressed with their City Council’s vegan agenda!

Last year, when Cambridge city council voted to phase out serving meat and dairy at events and provide vegan alternatives, it was praised for leading the way on climate action.

But the plan has hit a big problem at the first hurdle: people do not want the food.

At the first civic event since the vote, a council report has revealed the vegan menu went down so badly that almost all of the food remained uneaten and had to be thrown away causing “significant food waste”.

It noted that only one in ten attendees tried the vegan options and some guests were left hungry because there was “an insufficient amount of food available that people wanted to eat”.

The Burghers apparently would prefer to have Burgers!
