[QUOTE="Agriland RSS, post: 7244986, member: 105608"] [img]https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/files.thefarmingforum.co.uk/images/agrilanduk.JPG[/img] Written by William Kellett Oxford University students have voted to ban beef and lamb at campus canteens. The Oxford University Student Union passed a motion by a two-thirds majority at the weekly student council, though the union does not have the power to change university policy. Student union bosses will now push to implement the meat ban at eateries on campus, such as in libraries. The university colleges, however, where students reside and have tutorials, would each have to decide whether to introduce a similar ban separately. Mo Metcalf-Fisher of the Countryside Alliance said: “British farmers produce some of the finest red meat products in the world, while complying with the highest ethical and environmental standards. No one should not be denied the right to choose what food they wish to eat. “Students expect lectures in academia, not the diet they follow. “Pushing to reduce carbon is laudable but this is entirely the wrong approach. Committing to purchasing local, sustainable red meat with a low mileage, is the best way of protecting the environment and freedom of choice. “Let’s hope the colleges see sense and continue to allow their students to consume their diets of choice, free of regulation.” [SIZE=5][B]Further food changes[/B][/SIZE] A spokesman for the Oxford Students’ Union, said: “I welcome the mandate to engage the university on this important issue. Similar votes were also made in favour of such a decision at Edinburgh and the University of East Anglia, though it was overturned at the latter following a revolt by the wider student body.
