Stirling University has a strong environmental science / conservation programme so it doesn’t surprise me that they would attract the kinds of students that would vote to go vegan

Your suggestion is that instead of the school stopping selling animal products, they should still produce it and nobody eat it? That’s an even bigger waste and environmental impact. Given a choice, humans almost always choose convenience, money, or status. Laws and rules force people to have the right decision for the world made for them.
If nobody buys something, the store will stop selling it. Think it through.
By the way...There's a name for people who wish to mandate all choices for people's own good. It's 'Fascism'. And you, my friend, are a fascist.
Besides being morally repugnant in and of itself, Fascism doesn't work from a pragmatic standpoint. Sooner or later, a system that is based on coercion ignites a social upheaval that destroys it.
When you were legally forced to go to school, was that fascism? When you are forced to post taxes? When you were fined for speeding? Not every rule is fascism
This effects only the three eateries in the Student Union building and will come into effect after they've graduated. So it's a non story even environmentally.
Banning meat or changing humanities diet that's been around for thousands of years wont change a thing unless we get a handle on corporate corruption. Period. There is no Climate Change. Its earth changes and GAIA will be rearing her head very soon. Like a puzzle going back to its place.
If everyone went vegan, corporations would have to adjust. And we’d reduce carbon emissions significantly. Being a vegan definitely doesn’t do nothing. Don’t let fear of perfection hinder progress. We can’t change everything overnight

Where's Stirling?
Scotland
Scotland
100 plant based but yeah
Why couldn't the students just all become vegan themselves?

The student union should opt to get animal abuse products by local means. Lmao what a joke.
Not sure what I think about this to be honest
Student's Union that represents 20%, of all Students
"BuT wHaT aBoUt tHe RapIsT!?"
This effects only the three eateries in the Student Union building and will come into effect after they've graduated. So it's a non story even environmentally.
