An animal on your plate?

Meat or no meat on your plate?

That choice is not easy. Health considerations, cultural and religious traditions and concerns about the climate make us choose to eat different, less or no meat.

During this walk in the Leuven city center you will explore how meat production and consumption have evolved over time. This ranges from the living animal and the cattle markets, over the slaughterhouses and the butcher shops to the kitchen and the plate - at home or at a restaurant. But even the non-eating of meat has its own history with numerous traces in the inner city.
