PARIS 2024
Pictured is a NOT DOG, currently being avoided by athletes at the Olympic village.
Paris had a charter that said 60 per cent of food in the village had to be vegan friendly, and the day before the opening ceremony they ran out of meat and dairy options in the village, because they hadn’t anticipated so many athletes would be choosing the meat and dairy options over the vegan friendly ones.
The caterer had to rejig their numbers and bring in more of those products because surprise, surprise — world class athletes don’t have vegan diets.
Organisers have indeed since wilted to pressure from athletes and ordered more than 700kg of eggs and a tonne of extra meat to replace fake meat meals and non-dairy options.
