Are we really a nation of animal lovers? ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿพ

We love to think of ourselves that way. But how do our attitudes towards animals stack up when it comes to the ways they are used and exploited?

Our latest Empathy Index research digs deeper into this question, exploring attitudes across the UK towards different forms of animal exploitation and whether those attitudes have changed over time. ๐Ÿ“Š

The results are in...

The UK government is ending the requirement for meat to be served three times a week in UK schools. The longstanding rule is being changed to apply to animal or plant proteins, such as lentils and chickpeas, meaning schools are free to ditch meat entirely if they wish.

The changes come in a new version of the School Food Standards, legally binding government guidance, due to be implemented in September 2027.

The new guidance goes further in supporting healthy, sustainable plant-based foods, including making vegetarian and vegan meals more varied and attractive by using plant proteins such as pulses, tofu and mycoproteins. It also recognises fortified and unsweetened plant milks as healthy drinks.

The Vegan Society and many of our supporters called for these change in responses to an official consultation run by the government earlier this summer. The proposals must be approved by parliament but that is expected to be a formality.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the consultation and the many campaigners and organisations working for this amazing result.
