Dale Vince Urges Labour to Allow Vegan School Meals

Dale Vince, a prominent Labour donor and green entrepreneur, is advocating for the repeal of laws requiring schools in England to serve meat and dairy products. Speaking at a Labour conference event, Vince highlighted his vision for schools to provide vegan-only meals, claiming that current guidelines are outdated and detrimental to children’s health. He has committed £5 million to Labour and has called for a shift towards plant-based diets in schools, arguing that animal farming is a major contributor to climate change. Vince also expressed his desire to encourage farmers to transition from animal agriculture to crop farming and proposed innovative ideas for school lunches, including meals made from grass powder. His push aligns with a broader agenda within Labour to address climate crises and promote sustainability. Vince's financial support has sparked controversy, given his previous backing of eco-activism group Just Stop Oil, which he has since distanced himself from.
