How Prince William's vegan menu request for the Earthshot Prize left a bad taste
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Saulo Jennings, an acclaimed Amazonian chef and UN gastronomy tourism ambassador, was reportedly outraged when organisers of Prince William's Earthshot prize asked him to prepare an entirely vegan menu. For Jennings, being told to exclude pirarucu the region's iconic giant freshwater fish was not merely a matter of preference but a lack of respect for his culinary traditions. Prince William founded the Earthshot prize to celebrate innovative solutions to the planet's greatest environmental challenges."
Journalists cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and emphasize on-the-ground reporting to verify facts and present both sides. Donations enable continued deployment of reporters and help keep journalism freely accessible rather than behind paywalls, funded by those who can afford it. An Amazonian chef, Saulo Jennings, reportedly objected to being asked to prepare a vegan menu for the Earthshot Prize ceremony, arguing that excluding pirarucu disrespected regional culinary traditions. The Earthshot Prize celebrates innovative environmental solutions. This year's ceremony is scheduled for November 5 at Rio de Janeiro's Museu do Amanha and precedes Cop30 in Belem, highlighting the Amazon's central role in climate talks.
