Council Wants To Only Serve Vegan Food At Events

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading.

A West Yorkshire council will only provide vegan food at its meetings and events if a new catering plan is approved.

These three paragraphs explain the policy.

Calderdale Council wants its menus to be entirely plant-based, with a preference for seasonal and non-processed foods.

The council adopted a climate change emergency policy in 2020, which included a commitment to using plant-based catering.

Senior councillors will be asked to recommend that the vegan food scheme is adopted at a meeting on 3 June.

I am coeliac and have to eat a gluten-free diet. Sometimes, I will eat meals marked as vegan, but only after I have checked they are gluten-free.

A couple of times in my life, I have been told that I will be fine with a restaurants’s organic vegan food.

These incidents weren’t in the UK and I quickly moved on to a restaurant, which served food, that I could eat.

But you don’t know, where these sort of restrictions will lead.

• Suppose a Muslim-dominated council, insisted that all women kept their hair covered.
• Or all butcher’s shops in the area were to be closed!
• Will the local hosputal have to serve vegan food?

Any restaurant or catering facility, must serve, what its patrons want or need to eat.
