Food4Thought

What we are:

Did you know that going vegetarian can actually save the planet?

Here’s how: livestock farming generates 18% of the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions — by comparison, all the world’s cars, trains, planes and boats account for a combined 13% of greenhouse gas emissions. Producing all that meat not only warms the world; it also raises pressure on land resources. If we control what we eat by careful consideration and deliberate effort, we can do so much more in making the planet a better place to live.

Mission and Vision:

Food 4 thought is a proactive committee with a mission of increasing awareness among the NUS community about how livestock contributes to global warming and how we can do our part in making a difference to combating climate change by going meat free. Our vision is to have people to adopt a greener attitude about their eating habits.

Upcoming events:

Meat-Out Thursday:

Even a day can make a difference. The MOT is a program in which we convince the NUS students to go meat free for a day on their own volition. Why Thursday? We hope to have a common day where the entire NUS community can take part in this together. After all we feel better when our friends are joining us to eat less meat together on the same day. Of course, going meat free on another day or choosing to go 1meal/day instead of 1 day/week with reduced meat intake is fine! Any small step is a good beginning!

Snack Stand –Arts Walkway and Science:

The Snacks Stand, an initiative of F4T, is food stall that serves a variety offreshly packed vegan food. The food is fresh, tasty, completely vegetarian and reasonably priced. The stall operates every Thursdays along the Arts Walkway and Fridays at outside LT 26 from 10 am to 4pm near the Central Library. Do drop by to get a taste of real good, healthy food.

Canteen Event:

We will be carrying out a Meat-Out Thursday banner and tour around the canteens in NUS Kent Ridge Canteen. We will be passing flyers and share information about climate change.
