Turin to become Italy's first vegetarian city

 

The new mayor of Turin, Italy wants to make her city a more vegetarian and vegan-friendly city, citing health and environmental reasons for local citizens.

Over the next five years, residents will learn about the merits of eating a plant-based, meat-free diet as part of Mayor Chiara Appendino's overall plan to reduce meat consumption in the city.


“The promotion of vegan and vegetarian diets is a fundamental act in safeguarding our environment, the health of our citizens and the welfare of our animals,” reads a manifesto from her Five Star Movement party.

According to English-language website thelocal.it, in addition to public awareness campaigns within the community, schools will also teach children about plant-based nutrition and animal welfare
