      What the fuck is this woke nonsense. What a bunch of muppets.

      I go to Southampton uni, and I’ve seen posters for it. This vote hasn’t really made a difference. There were already just as many vegetarian options to meat options. It’s not like they’ve completely removed meat off the menu. I’d know – I just finished enjoying my BBQ chicken wrap.

      It’s a total nothingburger news story.

      *Plant-based meals will be the standard option at its facilities on the University of Southampton campus and consumers will have to opt-in if they would like animal-based products.*

      Some of the responses to this seem very overdramatic.

      The clothes and shoes they’re wearing were probably made in Vietnam or Bangladesh and shipped to the UK using fossil fuel powered ships

      Big news for 40something men who are really concerned about what teenagers are up to at university for some reason

      What does it mean when they say that people will have to “opt-in if they would like animal-based products”?

      When you buy food you traditionally have to choose from a set of options. How is this any different?

      I approve. It’s a university – a place to make mistakes in an insulated environment before you hit the real world.

      The only fly in the ointment is that many people are hell bent on making the real world a university student union

      You know, I really don’t like being told what to eat. This will backfire enormously, just like everything else the left has done recently. I do despair because obviously I don’t want the far right to win, but these idiots are handing it to them on a plate.

      Oh well. It’s only students. With any luck they won’t be pushing this crap on everyone else. Can you imagine a work cafeteria demanding that employees subsist on kale and carrot sandwiches with vegan cheese? Urgh.

      Congrats, you’ve just asked for more Pasta and Rice meals as standard…

      Meanwhile, the climate continues to tough it out despite the many oil refineries that have been burning for days in Russia (Serves them right) and the other destroyed refineries and oil storage in Yemen and Iran.

      Makes the efforts you’ve put in here quite game changing, right.

      This is just an observation of the impact from someone outside of the University bubble.

      The amount of people on here getting their knickers in a twist because of what other people are eating is unhinged

      Other than these places already existing prior to the switch it’s not exactly newsworthy. There have been vegan restaurants in London for decades and one of the great things about Indian food is that it’s really accommodating for vegan diets. Seems to be an oddly British thing to get sniffy about having a meal without meat and potatoes.

      So many non Southampton students having strong feelings about what the ACTUAL students want.

      Queue all your right wing broadcasters, politicians and journalists getting upset without even realising meat is still very much an option

      “Following the decision by the university’s student council” That is, a self-selecting, unrepresentative body of active power-seekers. NOT “University of Southampton” students at all.

      Mine did it a lot more extreme than this. Instead of plant based being the default option, they made it so that any place serving food that was run by the university had to be plant based only. We were told we could vote in favour, but only after the fact did we learn we could actually vote against the move. Only like 900 people voted for it, but apparently that was enough for the move to go through. It wasn’t like there wasn’t tonnes of vegan options already. They had basically every milk substitute available already, and half the menu was vegetarian/vegan. I ate a lot of the vegetarian goods myself, but don’t like a lot of the egg or milk substitutes.

      What got me was that the main cafe (maybe other places) was getting it’s cows milk from a local eco farm (the ones that have lots of wild spaces, small herds of animals, mixed variety of produce) which is what we should be supporting. They are doing more for the planet than just doing pure fields of crops. But ofc their main income was ripped away from them due to this move.

      So many farms around the area are being sold for development because it’s just not worth it to plant crops alone, but without locals buying goods, animals don’t bring in the profit either. Such a shame
