What we'll talk about
Meat or no meat on your plate? That choice is not an easy one. Health considerations, cultural and religious traditions and concerns about the climate mean that we choose to eat different, less or no meat.
During this walk through the city center of Leuven, you will explore how meat production and consumption have evolved over time. This ranges from the live animal and the cattle markets, to the slaughterhouses and butcher shops, to the kitchen and the plate – at home or in a restaurant. But not eating meat also has its own history, with numerous traces in the city center.
