Comment on Berlin’s university canteens go almost meat-free as students prioritise climate

Comments

Wait, what? "Almost meat-free" meaning "there's always meat on the menu"? At the same prices?

I'm asking because Swiss universities are getting flak for gasp charging more for dishes containing meat (compared to vegetarian dishes) [0] and going completely meat-free [1]

From what I can tell it means far less meals with meat.

When I was studying in Berlin the larger canteens had several different meals to choose from + salad and soups on any given day. Of those about half had meat in them (if my memory serves). I assume they want to reduce this number.

According to welt.de they want to reduce the meat and fish to about 4% of the food offered [1].
