Petition is addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner requests that the European Union put in place measures to educate the public and healthcare professionals on the major negative impact of animal-based diets on the environment and on health as opposed to the positive impact of plant-based diets. The petitioner points out that most deaths in the western world, such as those resulting from heart disease, cancer and diabetes, could, to a large extent, be prevented if people followed plant-based diets. The petitioner calls for the European Union to allocate sufficient funds to educate people on the negative effects of animal-based diets on the environment and on health in order for there to be a gradual shift towards plant-based diets.
