Closed petition Introduce requirements for the provision of vegetarian and vegan meals by 2025

Closed on 5 March 2024

We want the Government to require all businesses and organisations selling or serving meals - including restaurants, cafes, canteens in schools/hospitals etc - to have to make a minimum of 33% of options vegetarian, as well as having at least one vegan option.

Breeding animals for meat is a huge contributor to climate change, such as the emissions of cows releasing methane into the atmosphere, and the clearing of land, which could otherwise be covered in plants which take in carbon, for farming. It is also horrible and inhumane for animals, which are widely recognised as being sentient, to be bred and killed for human consumption.
