Los Angeles recently hosted its first Climate Week with all events featuring 100 percent vegan catering, showcasing the city's commitment to combating the climate crisis. With the 2028 Olympics approaching, there is speculation as to whether LA will lead the way in hosting the world's first fully vegan Olympics. The push for a plant-based Olympics is a response to the urgent need for action against the devastating impact of animal farming on the environment, including high greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation.

Despite no indication that the LA Olympics will be plant-based, there is a growing call for a vegan 2028 Olympics. Organizations and individuals, including Olympic medallist Dotsie Bausch, are advocating for a commitment to plant-based food at the event. While hosting a fully vegan Olympics may not solve the climate crisis, it would send a powerful message and set an example for the world to follow, showcasing LA's dedication to taking responsibility for environmental issues.
