Waltham Forest has served 1 million plant-based meals across 50 of its primary schools. Every day, plant-based options are served, ranging from creamy coconut korma to Jamaican patties and pizza.
Flora Richardson, 11, from Jenny Hammond Primary School said: “It’s important we have a plant-based food choice each day that everyone can eat and enjoy. The food tastes good and has a lot less harm to nature.”
