by Philip Oltermann,The Guardian<\/a>, <\/em>August 31, 2021<\/p>\n Students at universities in Berlin will from this winter swap currywurst and schnitzel for seeds and pulses, as campus canteens in the German capital make heavy cuts to their meat and fish options.\u00a0The 34 canteens and cafes catering to Berlin\u2019s sizeable student population at four different universities will offer from October a menu that is 68% vegan, 28% vegetarian, and 2% fish-based, with a single meat option offered four days a week.<\/p>\n Students will be able to nourish themselves over the winter months with meals including buckwheat and spelt bowls topped with grilled sweet potatoes, marinated beetroot and sesame seeds, or pasta bakes with tomato and cheese.<\/p>\n \u201cWe developed a new nutritional concept mainly because students have repeatedly approached us with the request for a more climate-friendly offer at their canteens,\u201d said Daniela Kummle of Studierendenwerk, the organisation providing economic, social, health and cultural support to students enrolled at Berlin\u2019s higher education institutions.<\/p>\n
