What a ridiculous picture. No hospital serves that. If they did, it would improve recovery times and free up more beds earlier. My 'breakfast' in a MATERNITY ward was a TINY cup of watery porridge, after a 50,000-calorie labour & then expected to breastfeed 😂

Thank You for the support and the report - Together we will make change happen 20percentlessmeat I am so proud of ALL the supporters of PSC100Group for making this happen PSCMagazine

Why bother? It's too low.

Groundbreaking move. See 2019 United Nations IPCC report on the urgent need to reduce meat to mitigate climate change if in any doubt 20PercentLessMeat PlantBasedPhil

Meat is still a source of protein whether you cut it out or not .. !

But, that's a bad thing. Why would they do that? They should strive to increase meat served by 20% instead

Why not just to ask us to eat grass!!!

Brilliant - the vego nazis win again in spite of 80% of the population being meat eaters. Minorities dominating the majority is really annoying. Time to spray the vegetables with Bovril !

I always went the chippy when I was at school. Even if that meant hopping over the fence.

Meat is still a source of protein whether you cut it or not .. !

Then the meat we do actually consume should be British, locally sourced and processed and paid a decent price for. There is no point reducing consumption if the remainder is cheap, overly-processed and brought in from the other side of the world! buybritish

Yeah I'm sure schools and hospitals normally serve a great big ribeye like the one in the photo. FFS.

Great! The price will go down and I'll eat the same amount for less money or better quality. Thank you climate terrorist! 😂

Sounds like a way to save money by offering inferior meals with lower meat content.

How about China eating fewer bats?

👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

No meat... and definitely no halal meat.

I have been in schools and hospitals...never been served meat like that shown in the photo. Never. When it has been visible at all, it has been processed out of all recognition.

“Meatless Tuesdays”

They must eating meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar.

Really...the token lump of 'meat' was often the best bit in hospital fodder, jelly next.

What no carnivorous option?

What school serves Tbone Steak?

Meat is expensive. Of course they are happy to reduce that charge.

Utter nonsense. Children need meat and dairy as part of a balanced, healthy natural diet.

A Cut of 90% is paramount

Good. But please make the veggies taste great! We need some spark and excitement in veggies, less spark in sugary empty calories

I think the illustration for this article is a bit over the top!

20% is too low

We all need to eat more insects.

so now, from hereafter, this pandemic will be used to implement all the narrative communist have been presenting in the last couple of years: Green revolution Vegetarianism Gender Equality and all the other non sense crap... ...how dare you?

Saves money.

Evil.

mi scusi esistono vetrini di polmoni visibili ad microscopio di lavoratori con motoseghe ed di transitanti durante pulizie stradali .... vedi Il SagGio cinese in PSYCORONA ByeBye

100% is much better for the planet, people and of course, cows.

Meat has protein. Kids need protein

Great. Now do sugar.
