    14. MENU FOR TODAY’S LUNCH Celery with grapefruit Couscous with cereal Yoghurt obtained from organic farming Dried apricots Bread obtained from organic farming There is no meat in this menu as stock farming can harm our planet: For example, cows need pastures, they have thus destroyed the forests. But trees help remove air pollution. It’s your choice! SAINT NAZAIRE AND NANTES PROPOSE A MEAL “FOR OUR PLANET” INFO FOR PARENTS Why make a menu “for the planet”? Meat consumption in great quantities has consequences on our environment: Greenhouse gas emissions from stock farms (higher than those coming from transport); Deforestation in order to create pastures; Water pollution and degeneration of coral reefs; Contribution to the occurrence of acid rain How about dietary balance? Vegetable proteins contained in cereal, together with those contained in dried vegetables, replace animal proteins Be careful, a systematic and long term exclusion of all animal proteins brings about deficiencies if they are not replaced by specific foods
