All Spaniards Must Be Vegan By Law
“Spaniards will be very vegan and very vegan”
This morning the government approved a law by which all Spaniards must adopt a vegan diet. Thanks to a petition that went viral on Change.org, as of January 1, the consumption of any product of animal origin is prohibited by law. We took to the streets to find out how this news is affecting citizens.
Tragedy is chewed at Bar Manolo. The owner of the bar, Manolo, greets us at the door with tears in his eyes.
Despite being in the midst of family festivities, Manolo doesn’t think he can sell all the ham he bought thanks to one of those WhatsApp chains that offered jabugo shoulders for € 15. “ A municipal has told me that the Russian salad is not vegan. But it’s a vegetable! “
But Manolo is not alone. Chaos also reigns in Spanish bakeries. This morning the Civil Guard has toured the establishments of this type to try their vegetable sandwiches.
“Chicken, tuna and even salmon, these sandwiches are a death trap. Our agents are now being treated by psychologists to recover from the trauma. “
But the tragedy has reached young and old alike. The Moncloa chef has been suspended from employment and salary for serving breakfast coffee with cow’s milk. “ I have been sent to a recycling course to learn vegan cooking. To me, who was the first of my class at Le Cordon Bleu. “
The President, on the other hand, is much more optimistic. ” I like vegans because they do things. ” Regarding whether due to this change the VAT on vegetables will be raised, the President declares: “It is one thing to be vegan, and another is to be vegan in exchange for nothing.”
But this law raises controversy on both sides. The President has assured that this prohibition will not affect bullfights : “sometimes the best decision is not to make a decision, which is also to make a decision.”
