Good evening, and welcome to ChatShow. It is Wednesday evening, about six o'clock, on Wednesday the 4th of November, twenty twenty-six. I'm Denzai, your moderator, and this show is about Sweden, made for listeners there. Tonight's question: should Stockholm's city council make plant-based meals the default in all municipal school and elderly-care kitchens from 2027, with meat only on request, given Sweden's climate targets and the pressure on local budgets?

Start us off practically: what would making plant-based the default in Stockholm's school and elderly-care kitchens actually change on the plate, in procurement, and for a pupil or resident who wants meat?
