Mother Fights for School in Mallorca to Offer Vegan Menu

A mother in Mallorca is advocating for her five-year-old son to have a completely plant-based menu at his school to accommodate his vegan diet. The school initially offered adaptations for religious reasons, such as a Halal menu for Muslim students, but did not provide a vegan option. The mother has taken the case to the Ministry of Education, and may consider legal action if a solution is not reached.

The FEUMVE association supports the mother's cause, highlighting that vegan menus in schools are only recognized in certain regions of Spain. They emphasize the importance of urgent measures to meet the needs of vegan families and future generations. While some countries like Portugal and the UK have made progress in offering vegan options in public places, Spain has yet to implement similar changes.
