Vegetarian Star

Bill Gates is praising flexitarian diets and faux meat products in a feature on his personal blog, The Gates Notes.

Topics discussed in “The Future of Food” include the decline in meat consumption, the need to reduce meat intake for environmental impact, faux meat companies and an interview with Michael Pollan.

Meat lovers may benefit from the influx of vegetarian meat companies.

Gates sampled such products and was convinced a faux chicken cutlet was the real thing.

A video of Bill Gates praising the efforts of companies that create plant-based alternatives to animal products has been uploaded to YouTube.

Microsoft makes their vegetarian and vegan techies happy by offering an extensive selection of appropriate food through the food service provider located on the campuses, which probably has a lot to do with the activism of a group called MSVeg.

MSVeg is a group of about 650 active members who are employees of the company who refused to carry peanut butter and jelly to work every day. As a result, it’s a lot easier to be a vegetarian or vegan at Bill Gates’ empire than it was a decade ago.

Mark Aggar, leader of MSVeg, had an interview with IVU online. A few highlights:

How the idea for MSVeg came about:
“It was formed out of frustration of not having very good or consistent vegan choices in the MS cafeterias and the suspicion that there were a lot of folks at MS who felt the same. Basically I formed it to create a loud voice for better food choices for veg*ns.”
