Was going to high-school in Sweden for a bit. They got free lunch over there as part of going to school, or at least to that one.
The kitchen was mandated to provide both regular and vegan options in equal amounts, despite that the vegans made up a fraction of the total school’s population. I found out the kitchen throws out the vegan stuff every day, and that it didn’t taste bad.
I’ve had bad vegan substitutes, but this wasn’t, so I added a bunch of the vegan food to my regular food every lunch.
I eventually noticed I was getting angry, hateful glares every single day from this one table where the same 12 to 15 guys sat. I asked my classmate about that and she told me those were the school’s vegans. They really hated that I touched their food and ate it along side my none vegan food, despite that the kitchen literally had to trash large portions of it every day.
After the 2008 crisis me and my family were homeless for 6 years. We survived a lot by dumpster diving, and it was quite a shock to see the sheer amount of food getting dumped, even for just minor reasons.
Like a pack of 12 fruit yogurts, of which a lid on just one was compromised. Eyup, thrown out.
And that’s not counting all the food that gets dumped before it comes to supermarket shelves.
Fun fact: Since 1973 it has been legally required to serve free lunch at elementary schools every single school day, no exceptions.
Since 2011 the food also has to be nutritious.

Wasted food drives me nuts
Likewise.

Vegan food can taste really good. I don’t fucking care if its vegan. I eat stuff because it tastes good.
