In 2007, Global High School decided that the school restaurant would cook where the environmental impact was as low as possible, and where good environment, good health and good animal care would be promoted.
After a vote at the school in 2009, it was decided that the school should only serve vegetarian food. And the students we talk to now, ten years later, are positive about that decision.
"It's very good," says Noah Lindberg, who also says that many people are shocked when he says that the school only serves vegetarian lunch.
- When you explain how good it is, people understand, says Hugo Wijk.
"Not about politics"Thea Restadh says that many people believe that she and the other students do not get enough protein.
- They think it is strange that the school chooses "party" by serving vegetarian food - as if there was something political about it, which it is not about in this case, she says.
The students we talk to think that a lot is about the habit of eating meat.
- We have eaten meat for a very long time, and when you change and do something new and choose something else, it often provokes quite strong reactions - precisely because you go against what is normal, says Isa Sörensen.
Chef David Liebe believes that the approach to vegetarian food has changed.
- In the 90s and maybe even ten years ago, it was much more negative that you would get nutritional deficiencies and such things. Now you know that you are excellent at vegetarian food - maybe even better, says David Liebe.
- School chefs are usually very positive and curious when I tell you that we only serve vegetarian food. They are very responsive to these ideas, says chef Magnus Naess.
