One-Third of Brits Support Fully Plant-Based Menus in NHS Hospitals 🌱

A third of Brits would back a switch to an entirely plant-based menu in NHS hospitals, according to a poll.

The study of 2,000 adults revealed that while 79 per cent have sympathy for the NHS in its current state, 55 per cent believe something needs to change when it comes to the meals served.

The research was commissioned by Plant-Based Healthcare Professionals UK (www.plantbasedhealthprofessionals.com), which want to see plant-based meals as the default option in hospitals and healthcare institutions, in line with the policy in place in New York City hospitals.

Dr Shireen Kassam, founder of the community interest company, said: “There’s certainly an appetite to see change.

“Naturally, there will be many that perhaps wouldn’t be as keen, but often once ideas are implemented, people adapt very quickly.”
