The Humane Society of the United States is giving a big thumbs up to the Compass Group — the world’s largest food service company — for it’s brand new “Be a Flexitarian” initiative.
The animal organization worked closely with Compass on the campaign, which will immediately expand the variety and supply of meat-free options for its customers in over 8,500 U.S. corporate and academic food service cafeterias.
About the decision, President and CEO of The HSUS Wayne Pacelle said:
“It doesn’t take an all-or-nothing approach to make a major impact, and giving customers more meat-free meal choices will improve health, reduce the impact of global warming, and help animals.”
Here at VEGdaily, we salute the Compass Group for taking action on this important issue. Keep the good work, you guys!

Congrats to Compass Group for making eating veg meals even easier. And, also exciting, for promoting the fact that by incorporating more vegetarian meals into our diet we can help the animals, the environment, and our health. Great work!
