    Low footprint food choices are not the same as vegan food choices in all cases, the analysis is more complex than this. Generally a low footprint diet is local, seasonal food, and limits consumption of red meat, dairy, and some grains. Low footprint food choices are included in the draft Greenest City Action Plan and will be discussed through community engagement activities.

    No one is saying you'd HAVE to eat vegan, this is just 'let there be more options.' I think the incentive for restaurants and businesses already exists - those of the populace who choose (or are by dietary necessity) to exclude meat and/or dairy from their lives would be ABLE to spend their money in the establishment. It's not rocket science that if there aren't options, money will not be spent in that business, but in another that does offer options. Spread the love, and let all come to the table to dine, not just sit and watch others. This is a way to build community and dialogue, by making it easier for everyone in a group to be accommodated, rather than excluded (regardless of their personal reasons and choices that have led them there, much like religion).
