Paris has once again surrendered to a foreign occupying force, except this time the occupants are not an armed camp but starving athletes fed up with the vegan diet enforced by Olympic organizers.
Olympic organizers were forced to rush to order 4,000 pounds of meat and eggs after athletes denounced fake meat and non-dairy options. Daily Mail I will report.
From the start, officials had been intent on making this year’s Olympics the greenest in Olympic history, but somewhere in the “grand design” of the social designers, they missed the fact that while fake meat is fine in the faculty dining halls of Harvard and Oxford, elite human machines just won’t run on it.
Organizers initially tried to downplay the impact of the woke eating plan and assure people that everything would be fine, but they were eventually forced to admit defeat.
“In terms of food, we have had to make some changes and adapt, but that is quite normal,” Paris 2024 CEO Etienne Thobois told reporters.
“We are providing an increased supply of 700kg of eggs and one tonne of meat to meet the needs of our athletes.”
Is it “normal” to have to rush out and order over £4,000 for completely different menu items?

Toboa continued: “We have a complete vision in terms of nutrition to provide the necessary products, including organic foods. We are adapting everything so that everyone involved is happy.”
“We have consulted with players’ representatives and have adapted our services to keep players first and to meet their needs.”
The menu isn’t the only big concession made by the Olympics’ green planners: Teams are now allowed to bring their own air conditioners, in contrast to the previous arrangement when only teams from wealthy countries with deep pockets had them and others were forced to rent them.
The issues of nutrition and cooling down continue to plague athletes once they’re on the field.
Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmuss says the weather prevented her from setting a new world record in the 800m freestyle.
“It probably wasn’t the time I thought I could do, but living in the Olympic Village makes it harder to perform,” she said Sunday.
“This is obviously not designed for high performance, so it’s really about who can keep their minds up.”
