Unhealthy eating at work is the number one topic of conversation – why?
I'm 34 years old and have been with the company since its founding. We've had a new employee on our team for about nine months. He's 25 years old and, by his own admission, a recreational athlete. Accordingly, he doesn't like the food in our in-house cafeteria. Every day, there's a wide selection of meat, sauces, pasta, and the occasional burger. Now he's complained to the boss that, as a vegan, he doesn't want to support what he calls this "deadly lifestyle."
Why not try to find a compromise?
As an employer there is nothing to lose, because a certified nutritional advice at the workplace is often taken over by the health insurance companies, but usually at least too large.
Such a seminar can relieve the operating climate and the colleague can ask his questions directly to an expert or expert.
In any case, the dispute would have taken such a wind out of the sails. More here (Tipp 3):

Well, dhe enjoys plants bringing the painful poisoning and fragmentation of billions of animals, predators, extermination of whole species through monocultures, the destruction of foods, the waste of water through low-nutrients plants, fine dust by mass import/export, greenhouse gases that worsen climate change, rainforest destruction due to southern fruits and palm oil, soybean oil, water poisoning due to massive pesticide use and artificial fer.
Then he has to switch to light food.
It does not harm the canteen to take some distance from the meat-loaded food and also to offer vegan food.
It doesn’t even have to be complicated.
Rice, pasta potatoes with vegetables and salads, as well as occasionally substitute products.
O that sounds exciting and like snap breathing!
I immediately ask the question of the extent to which the catering as a contractual obligation belongs to the duties which the employer has to perform. Is that so today?
I worked in times when there were mostly good-bourgeois canteens, with time then also more progressive with vegetarian orientation. Only vegan – I don’t remember this orientation. It wasn’t a hype at that time.
Such a food offer was one of the social benefits that could be accepted or dispensed with free of compulsion.

A complaint with the employer is already a house number, I think. Is it possible to take this out as a worker?
So I guess I’d have as much Chuzpe as a proven specialist, genetically unchanged and with corresponding expertise you don’t get past. And even then there are other possibilities.
His problem. Either he adapts to the situation or he’s looking for a new job. He can’t ask for the entire staff to change their eating habits.
So if you already have a wide selection of dishes, why not have something healthy and or vegan? After all, he has to be at work every day and good food is very important at least for him (which I find very understandable).
because there is also something other than eating meat
I would also be upset if it was so monotonous
Never heard of fish or stews, salads or light rice dishes?
