"It's also our responsibility to educate the people who will be engaged in Paris 2024, that it's a collective duty now to change our habits and definitely to reduce our carbon footprint. So to go to the venue by a public transport system and when you buy food in the venue, you should also try the vegetal (vegan) food that is served because in terms of taste it's very good. The products are quite amazing and with the chef's way to cook the vegetal (vegan) products, you will be surprised by the fact that it's a vegan product."
Organizers say 13 million dishes
will be served during the Games
They begin on July 26
