Students at Lancaster University want campus to go vegan

Students at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom have voted to call for all food served on campus to be plant-based, reports BBC News.

The Students’ Union is supporting a gradual transition to 100% vegan menus, with a target of 50% by 2025, and full implementation by 2027. One campaigner, Victoria Simpson, said: “Lancaster University has a goal of net zero by 2035, and ... implementing a plant-based catering system... absolutely aligns with their goals.”

The university is not bound to follow the recommendation of the motion, which was supported by 18 of the 19 delegates representing about 13,000 students. The Countryside Alliance, which champions British farming, said it believed the motion was an “attack on freedom of choice” against the majority of students.
