P-06-1452 Meat-free Monday in every school in Wales - Correspondence from the Petitioner to the Committee, 13 January 2025

Dear Carolyn Thomas MS and members of the petitions committee,

Thanks for the letter, I was pleased to hear that some local authorities are already doing a meat-free Monday. I'd like to see more of this in the future. Is it possible to do this at a national level as the petition asked for instead of leaving it to local authorities?

I don't think the letter quite addresses the issues in my neighborhood. During the debate on 17 September meatless Monday wasn't allowed to talk about.

Research has shown that meat-free Mondays are healthy and can help with people's health and make lives longer.

Can revised regulations on reviewing healthy eating regulations in schools take into account the research into meatless Mondays?

Thanks again for the letter,

Yours sincerely

Manon Thompson
