A nearly meat-free week
This year's National Week Without Meat & Dairy will take place from Monday, 7 March until Sunday, 13 March (weekzondervlees.nl). The UvA supports this initiative, because we believe that daily meat consumption is a thing of the past. However, we've decided not to remove the entire range of meat products from our campuses this week. Why not? Allow us to explain. Our range of food and beverages on campus is gradually changing to include less meat . We're gradually transitioning towards the consumption of more plant-based and fewer animal products. This process is also referred to as the 'protein transition'.
