A new cafe is on the cards for South Cardiff this autumn. Why vegan, why now and how is this one unique?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Grangetown is set to house yet another independent business as November brings about the launch of vegan caf\u00e9 Wild Thing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Founded by 26-year-old entrepreneur Lauren Saunders, the Clare Road caf\u00e9 will advocate a healthy plant-based and environmentally guilt free diet. <\/span><\/p>\n

Stripping away meat, dairy and all animal products, a rise in vegan diets would directly result in a fall in agricultural emissions<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people are not aware of the impact that their food has on the environment, said Lauren. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA vegan diet is the single biggest way to reduce your impact on the Earth,\u201d she said, referencing a study<\/a> by the University of Oxford.<\/span><\/p>\n

The study, published in <\/span>Science<\/span><\/i>, reveals that the farming sector is using over 40% of the world\u2019s ice and desert-free land. <\/span><\/p>\n

Even the lowest impact animal products, the study claims, are having a greater impact than vegetable alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Low-impact vegan foods will be served exclusively at Wild Thing, said Lauren.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

The caf\u00e9 also plans to operate at low waste.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo single-use takeaway cups here,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every part of the caf\u00e9, even the plates, will have been sourced ethically.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wild Thing\u2019s motto is \u201cBe Kind to the Planet. Be Kind to Yourself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The latter part of the motto refers to Wild Thing\u2019s goal for people to eat more vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wild Thing wants to tackle food poverty, said Lauren: \u201cBy working with the local community to provide projects educating around healthy eating and cooking healthy food on a low budget.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Lauren, 80% of adults across the UK aren\u2019t eating enough vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n

In terms of other vegan caf\u00e9s and restaurants in Cardiff, it is these goals, she said, that set Wild Thing apart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Subject to planning permission, Wild Thing caf\u00e9 is hoping to be open for business by the end of November.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
