University of Cambridge: Removing meat 'cut carbon emissions'
The university catering service's chef went to Borough Market in London for inspiration for the plant-based menu
The catering service's chefs were given vegan cookery classes and cafe managers were given training in sustainability.The university also listed the vegetarian and vegan options before the meat items and changed how food was labelled on their menus. Catering manager Paula White said unlike most restaurants the university's eating places did not label food as vegetarian or vegan.
She said:"We just put what's in it. You use your eyes, your nose. If you look at something and think 'Wow, that looks good', you're not first of all thinking 'Is there beef in that?'" Nick White, head of the catering service, said:"This has involved making sacrifices, but is has been absolutely the right thing to do.Media caption
