Heura Foods is horrified that their petition to put climate friendly Vegan food on the menu at the upcoming Glasgow COP26 climate conference is being ignored.
Plant-Based Food Is Critical In the Fight Against Climate Change. So Why Isn’t It a Priority at COP26?
CLIMATE CHANGE VEGAN
By Jill Ettinger
Published on Aug 25, 2021In a petition posted to Change.org, Spanish vegan meat brand Heura Foods is urging UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to bring vegan food to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) scheduled to take place in November in Glasgow.
“We have listened to your words. We have noticed your (lack of) actions. Now it’s time to act and address diet as a key way to drive positive impact on the climate crisis,” the brand’s co-founders Mark Coloma and Bernat Ananos Martinez wrote in a post to LinkedIn.
The two-week summit’s aim is to accelerate dialogues and actions around Paris Agreement and the UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change.
To that, Heura Foods says there is “more than enough data” to validate plant-based foods as a means to help slow the climate emergency. Yet the COP26 menu options are not entirely plant-based, according to the brand.

I think everyone at WUWT shares my horror that climate friendly vegan foods might be underrepresented at COP26. Imagine the misery; How will our leaders live with having to consume high carbon food like roast beef and caviar, texan style BBQ brisket, Italian pasta, cheese cake, bacon, ham, salmon and cream cheese, when what they really want is to lead by example, by turning COP26 into a showcase for climate friendly salads?
Imagine if COP26 host British PM Boris Johnson was deprived of the option of choosing vegetarian food, and had no option other than to tuck into a big juicy tender rare steak instead, dripping with gravy, sauce, condiments and CO2 emissions, one guilt ridden bite at a time?
We at WUWT urge everyone to sign the petition now, the ensure our leaders are properly provided with climate friendly vegan food options.

I strongly suspect this anti-red meat this is just another anti-Western idea. I read somewhere that the consumption of goat meat is 5 or 10 times that of beef. Why aren’t we banning goat meat as well? Surely goats fart too. Ohhhhhh, well of course, goat meat is only eaten by the poor in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Now we can’t harm these poor dears, can we?
What? You have never seen Cabrito on the menu at a Mexican restaurant?
They most assuredly do. When travelling in the Indian desert once, we were surrounded by goats one night. They were pretty much farting continuously, and each one was like a .22 going off. It was pretty funny. Had fun chasing them in the morning to get milk for chai too.
We never did decide if the goats were there because of the desert, or the desert because of the goats. They eat absolutely everything!
Yeah, they use goats a lot to get the vegetation down here. I rented some once for said job, right when my kids were young. They were amused immensely by the chorus of farts every few seconds. Not even nearly as funny as a single ripper in school assembly when I was growing up (allegedly).
I vote to require a carbon-free diet and net zero energy delivery for 90 days quarantine of all attendees as a permanent, lasting solution to the entire issue.
They should fast for the conference. Growing, cultivating, harvesting, distribution, and preparation of food takes energy, most likely from fossil fuel.
They make vegan cake. Let them eat cake… and nothing else.
If they really care about CO2 emissions, all participants need to travel to COP26 via wind powered sailboat, bicycle, skateboard, or on foot.
No flying, limos, taxis, rideshares or automobiles.
Climate change, BLM, London’s extinction rebellion, Culture wars and list goes on and on, I’m a lost soul in the world that has going mad.
Today’s Telegraph remind us that Monty Python’s Life of Brian recorded more than 40 years ago was not only funny but prophetic too

Surely given the threat of climate change to crop production , fasting would set an example to us all?
I’ll file this under “Great Minds Think Alike.” 😀
Provide them with no food, the fate they will inflict on most of humanity given the chance.
Yeah. Giv’em weed 💩
They’ll stick to vegan cocktails.
There. Happy now?
How about serving the truth for a change?

No, I won’t sign a petition to serve only vegan foods. Is there an option to force-feed them insects?
Limiting food to Vegan is a start. Why not stretch that goal a little further and require all for to not only be Vegan, but also sourced within 50 km of the meeting site? If Vegan is good, locally grown is that much better! Wonder how many thousands of people were going?
Locally grown veggies? In November?! In Scotland?!?
🤣 🤣 🤣
Marmite futures are UP!
Yes, but you’re not seeing this clearly.
The lack of locally sourced vegetables is a feature, not a bug.
Let them be hungry, which is what they will inflict on the bulk of humanity with their simpleton “War On Fossil Fuels.”
Just crested 1000 signatures! I was so happy to oblige!!
When I first read that, I read crested as created.
….. OMG, another democrat on this site.
I think this wouldn’t help unless meat was replaced entirely with bugs.
But perhaps it would be better to encourage all the Scientific Experts (e.g. the 400 odd scientists who turned up at Katowice from both the Democratic Republic of Congo and from Equatorial Guinea (and their US & EU chums) to make sure they experience the real Glasgow experience.
They might enjoy the tradition of visiting The Rangers Shop on Sauchiehall Street and join together singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone”.
Fun guaranteed!
The word on the street has always been that if you’re visiting Glasgow and someone asks you which Club you support, always say Partick Thistle. (yes, yes, I realise that less than 1% of WUWT readers will get that, but believe me, it’s funny).
I’m more of a fan of the Blackthorn Club, myself.
There is quite a serious Cause & Effect confusion in here/there. Everywhere really when said & done but hey ho, C’est la vie with Climate Science™
Especially did a shit diet create climate change or did climate change create nutrient free shit food
As is often the way though, we’d be correlating Effect with Effect so are bound to find a nice causation going on.
You know me, you know what causes both those things and it comes from beneath all ours feet and not from up in the sky.
Had a good craic with the local peasant Dave (##) today and he recounted his sales/marketing adventure, last year, with the small number of lambs he cultivates.
(His wife does actually while he looks after the much hunkier cows)
Anyway, Sale Time came and as sheep farmers do, they select the very best of their lambs and take them to market first.
They sold for £95 each, on average.
’bout a month later he gathered up the poor-doers, runts and assorted mis-shapes and, full of dread, fears of bankruptcy and other variations on ‘ruin’, took them to auction.
They sold for, average, £140 each
What Do You Say
Also in the news and again we must all send big hugs & kisses to the residents of Number 10, get this:

## Some Woman, attempting to park a car far too big for her driving capabilities, deemed his tractor parking skills to be wanting – hence why she couldn’t place her Beemer where she wanted.
After an epic struggle she achieved (some) satisfaction only notice that David was sat in the offending tractor, watching the while.
She wandered away, loudly muttering unprintables about ‘Peasants’ as she went.
It tickled him greatly and he’ll recount the story till his dying day
Vegan ‘meat’ ??? Aren’t they being a bit hypocritical? Why do they soil their philosophy by calling the muck they make “meat”? Bloody hilarious.
Rory, I’ve always wondered why, if vegan food is so great, they have to keep coming up with ways to fake meat?
I know, LOL. Hell, I love well made veg dishes. It makes the meat stand out more. I’m pretty sure it has much to do with virtue signaling … “I really LOVE meat, but I’m saving the planet, admire me!”
Cows are vegan and I thought cows were bad.
Mmmmmm… fresh vegans 🥗
To serve vegan…
I would like a tender vegan, served medium-rare, with a jacketed potato, and a nice Merlot.
The prescribed menus should contain only those ingredients that are *NOT* proscribed for religious reasons by *any* attendee – obviously to avoid offending anybody.
In addition :
NO salt
NO sugar
NO caffeine
NO alcohol
y’all have a great week
The Management
I’d sign it – if they wanted their garbage can rejects to be a REQUIREMENT. The only things on the menu.
Breath-arians have proposed a novel diet option. Their seems to be a splinter sect making their case.
It should be all locally sourced food (by local I mean walking distance)
Let them eat cake.
We all know what happened next.
