One day a week off, for school cafeterias

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – Daycare centre and school cafeterias in Lausanne will have one meat- and fish-free day at week, following a vote by the city council. The motion to have a vegetarian day was presented by the Green Party and other politically Left parties, who also proposed that the city’s cafeterias increase the amount of locally produced foods.

The council agreed this week to a rule that 70% of food supplies must be of local origin.
