They\u2019ve slowly started implementing more and more vegetarian options into their cooking and their food choices, only to find that they don\u2019t even want to eat meat anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheffield has a range of vegetarian and vegan food on offer. Popular places include Church: Temple of Fun in Kelham Island, South Street Kitchen, Humpit, Pom Kitchen, Street Food Chef, Tis Bagels, The View Deli, Falafel King and Garden Kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/05\/veg-1024x532.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53391\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Miss Whiteside said: \u201cNo matter where I go though, or wherever I am when I need a bite to eat, I\u2019m never short of options and I\u2019m rarely disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome of the best vegetarian and vegan food I\u2019ve eaten has been in this city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new UK wide survey commissioned from YouGov by The Vegetarian Society has found that over half of all young adults agreed they would choose to eat more sustainably if carbon footprint labelling was included on food packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the government committed to reducing UK greenhouse gas emissions by almost 80% by 2035, these findings suggest that carbon footprint labelling could play a key role in reducing consumption of high carbon foods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Vegetarian Week has returned, promoting the small changes you can make to reduce your carbon footprint and help the planet.
