He told a fringe meeting at Labour's conference that his company, Devil's Kitchen, already supplies vegan food to "one in four" primary schools.

What an appropriate name for his company....
Quote:
Government guidance issued to schools in England, external says they must serve a "wide range of foods across the week".
This must include fresh fruit and vegetables, some milk and dairy and "a portion of meat or poultry on three or more days each week".
Mr Vince said it was now clear that a vegan diet was healthier than eating meat and dairy products, adding: "We shouldn't be forcing these unhealthy products on to our kids."

Apparently he was never a child or parented a child, because no one can force a child to eat what they really don't want to eat.
And of course that doesn't even begin to cover the fact that he's completely wrong about animal products, health, and environmental issues.

"[Farmers] have to be part of the move to net zero, they have to move away from animal agriculture, we know that the science tells us that - and they already grow grass to feed to animals."

Without animal farming, where does he think the fertilizer is going to come from to grow all his vegan food? It certainly won't be organic fertilizer unless it comes from animals. I guess he'll pull it out of thin air... or a chemical fertilizer plant, which of course can't possibly harm the environment, right? (/sarcasm)
I suppose there's the option of fertilizer from municipal sewage sludge, and surely he won't mind the toxic chemicals from that being uptaken from the soil into his vegan food.
