Breaking Away From Blutwurst in Berlin

Berlin's four Universities are served by 34 canteens and cafes. It has been decided to change the food on offer to students in those establishments. The menus will prioritise attempting to counter climate change (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/31/berlins-university-canteens-go-almost-meat-free-as-students-prioritise-climate). For four days a week, the menu options will be 68% vegan; 28% vegetarian and 2% fish-based, with a single meat dish. Seeds and pulses, rather than sausage and veal, will become major ingredients of these dishes. These student dietary changes are not limited to Berlin. Across Germany, 30-50% of student menu items are now vegetarian options. This is a highly impressive development. If done well, it could change the eating habits of a cohort of influential young folk for a lifetime, greatly reducing 'greenhouse gas' emissions. Germans now just need to be weaned off their dependence on imported natural gas?
