Paul's comments on the enforced provision of animal products in public institutions in France

"The French Government’s recent decree effectively enforcing the consumption of animal products in public institutions is a backward step  for France.  It goes against the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the
European Union by prohibiting individuals’ right to express their beliefs.

No one needs to eat animals – and we can combat climate change and lessen the risk of suffering from heart disease and other ailments by reducing the amount of meat we eat."
