Beef Bits Brief: London University bans hamburgers

The Goldsmiths, University of London campus will be removing all beef products from campus in an attempt to become a “carbon neutral organization by 2025.”

New university Warden Professor Frances Corner has announced several major measures in an effort to join in on declaring a climate emergency.

All campus food outlets will no longer sell beef products by the start of the 2019 academic year.

Additional measures include a tax on plastic cups and bottled water, installing more solar panels and adding climate change curriculum options.

In response to the university’s announcement, the North American Meat Institute was quick to respond with a post called Top 10 Ways to Sneak Meat Into the Office.

The tongue-in-cheek post includes suggestions such as hiding a hot dog in a banana peel, replacing pens with snack sticks and using hot dogs as hair sticks.
