Saturday was NIST's Family Fun Day. 25 pounds entry and all food, games, drinks (soft), crafts included. There were loads for the kids and Sebastian had a grand time. I was very disappointed in the food selection as was promised a wide range of vegetarian/vegan food and there was barely anything vegetarian and french fries were vegan. Besides the fact I could not really eat I do believe that most International Schools talk a big game about doing all the right things for the world (recycle, reduce energy etc). BUT majorly fail on two of the biggest issues, the consumption of animals and transatlantic flights. The flights is difficult to manage and still have a school BUT the large amount of meat being served can certainly change! There are International schools out there that are purely vegan. And usually we are talking about lunch only, if people want meat then there are two other meals in the day. Every school that promises to be striving for a better future for their students should model consuming less meat. ANYWAYS, Sebastian had a great time and we all just ate when we got home :)
