India’s Vegan School
With news earlier in the year that the German Environment
Ministry made the government go vegetarian for all offi cial
function, one school in Chennai has decided to go a step
further. The German International School in Chennai has
gone completely vegan. The story follows that since the
school started rescuing farmed animals this year, offi cials felt
that animal products no-longer aligned with their morals.
A typical school menu at the German International School
includes breakfasts, lunches and dinners fi lled with
vegetable and pulse-rich European and Indian dishes,
including vegan versions of meaty favourites. The school
makes cashew-cheese and mock-meats on site so that the
pupils can continue to enjoy the dishes they once relished,
without the guilt.
