Schools in Helsinki go vegetarian! (once a week)

[candyflip]

Yay! Our capital city Helsinki's city council has voted in favor of having an all-veggie day a week. No meat is going to be served at schools on that day. I can only imagine what effect this will take on the quality of vegetarian food at schools! When i was young the policy was to just simply substitute meat with carrots

This is awesome! In Sweden there are a lot of organizations working for the same thing and hopefully something will happen. The funny thing is that there are a lot of protesters that don't even realize that thursdays is almost always veg day in school cause they serve soup (onion potato stuff most of the time) and pancakes.
