BOTTOM STORY OF THE DAY: Golden Globes will serve plant-based meal at awards ceremony.

Guests will be served a 100% plant-based meal just ahead of showtime Sunday. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association said Thursday that it wants the initiative to raise environmental awareness about food consumption and waste.

“If there’s a way we can, not change the world, but save the planet, maybe we can get the Golden Globes to send a signal and draw attention to the issue about climate change,” HFPA president Lorenzo Soria said. “The food we eat, the way we grow the food we eat, the way we dispose of the food is one of the large contributors to the climate crisis.”

If there’s an issue that the public needs to increase their awareness on, it’s definitely “climate change.” It’s awesome to see that Hollywood is stepping up on the one topic that the news media has completely avoided covering in recent years.
