Guest contribution by Eric Worrall

Heura Foods is appalled that their petition to put climate-friendly vegan food on the menu at the upcoming COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow is being ignored.

In a petition on Change.org, Spanish vegan meat brand Heura Foods calls on British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to bring vegan foods to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), due to be held in Glasgow in November.

“We listened to your words. We noticed your (lack of) action. Now is the time to act and embrace nutrition as an important avenue to have a positive impact on the climate crisis, ”Brand Co-Founders Mark Coloma and Bernat Ananos Martinez wrote in a post on LinkedIn.

I think everyone at WUWT shares my horror that climate-friendly vegan foods could be underrepresented at COP26. Imagine the misery; How will our executives live with having to consume high-carbon foods like roast beef and caviar, Texas-style BBQ brisket, Italian pasta, cheesecake, bacon, ham, salmon and cream cheese if they really want to lead by example? Make COP26 a showcase for climate-friendly salads?

Imagine if the UK Prime Minister of COP26 Boris Johnson had the option of opting for vegetarian food with no choice but to eat a large juicy, tender, rare steak instead that was preceded by gravy, sauce, Spices and CO2 emissions dripping, one guilt-laden bite at once?

At WUWT, we urge everyone to sign the petition now to ensure our executives are properly provided with climate-friendly vegan food options.
