Subscribe and turn on notifications🔔 : https://buff.ly/3F6ZiLt | Olympians at Paris 2024 have been complaining about the food options. Here’s why.
One athlete told AFP “the only issue” about living in the Village is the “food shortages” and when another was asked if anything was missing, he boldly stated: “meat”.
According to The Washington Post, the vegetarian-heavy menu was set to minimise the carbon footprint of the Games, but the athletes who wanted meat were left disappointed.
Representatives from Team Great Britain claimed the food was “not adequate” and brought their own chefs to support athletes who didn’t want to eat in the Olympic Village.
Following the complaints, Paris 2024 authorities are said to have increased the supply of food to match the demand. A “reinforcement in animal proteins with 700 kilos of eggs and a tonne of meat” made its way into the kitchen earlier this week.

I would bet the Olympic committee dined on the finest meats! btw vegetables are not zero carbon options!
Ewww. Look at the grey beans!
They had a mcdonald’s in the olympic village in Rio 😮
みんな顔が死んでる。
Imagine the largest sporting event on earth worried about their carbon footprint!
ud think olypians would be treated like royalty they r the TOP ATHLETES OF THEIR ENTIRE COUNTRY and they could of slept and been fed better in a NY city honeless shelter then what they got in the "village" Paris really dropped the ball. did they spend all their funsing on the opening entertainment so they didnt have enough to feed or house comfortably these ahtletes???
За тэр самар цөмөх аргыг үзнээ.
Carbon footprint my ass
This is just as bad as U.S. high school coaches expecting athletes to over-perform despite having nothing but pizza, canned fruit, and milk at 10:30am.
This Olympic was disgusting… smh
Imagine ur country don’t have private chef and u had eat at the Olympic village and have a match that lasts all day coming up. RIP 💀
the irony – all restraunts and bars in Paris were lacking vegetarian options, it was hard to find anything without ham/fish/meat in general. But the athletes should be limited to veggie options – are you kidding me?
The Bed and the food was the same in TOKYO JO 2020.And nobody complains.British and americans complain about food .Lol.!!!!!😂
We want FISH and CHIPS for every meal, that s the real good food !!!
Who know american good food ?? Barbecue may be..
Aww man they over there living on meager means… European stuff are over rated
This is sad. The Olympics were incredible – thanks to the ATHLETES. France bungled this being EXTRA as the French can be. Hopefully we can avoid Europe as the games continue to choose locations.
And this is how France pulled off the cheapest Olympic ever
Anything that is France/French is always kak
The most stupid organisers of the Olympics
Carbon footprint?
Don’t worry athletes… you guys aren’t going to have to worry about none of this in Olympics 2028 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Elite athletes competing on a world level and getting fed rubbish…. Something is wrong there.
Some athletes wanted to eat like tourists in Macdonald's 😅 the athletes nutrition wasn't good for them 😮 A waiter in this restaurant said since it's free the athletes eat all day long double and triple rations!!.. So no surprises if there's a supply shortage!! 😊
The dirty Seine River, the lack of quality in the medals, the transportation complaints, the lack of living accommodation to include air conditioning, and now the food. Corners being cut big time.
Paris Olympics: “We went from 500 kg of vegetarian food to 1000 kg.” 😂😂😂
So that was basically an inexistent controversy as the problem was solved in 24 hours? Drama post.
And the democrats wants to ban red meat in the US. Still wanna vote for the socialist party??
Why are they disguising their cost-cutting measures as lowering the "carbon footprint". Like tf if you wanna lower the carbon footprint how about not hosting the olympics in the first place? No one gives a shit about being environmentally friendly at the biggest sports event in the world so how about they just pass it to another country if they're so desperate to become the saviors of carbon footprint.
Nobody complained about the food for the Tokyo Games 🤷🏽♂️
meat protein is essential for building muscles. especially if they’re already used to their usual diet. France really fucked this one up with their trying to be “eco – friendly”
Carbon footprint? It’s a joke. Unbelievable.
Use door dash or whatever local
How much records were broken this year?
Simply save cost.
French being french…
They had enough money for demonic ceremonies, but can't clean the river or feed those people
Potlucklympics
For the people in the comments claiming plant protein will provide olympians with enough protein to sustain their excertion: name one olympian that is vegan. And no Raygun doesnt count.
Everything that Paris did is just to disrespect the athletes that worked their whole lives for this moment.
I went to a university in France for 5 months the food in the Cafeteria was pitiful! One day a wk they had beef tongue disgusting 😟 can u believe it? How dare they do this to students
Everything was the worst NO AC HARD BEDS NO FOOD AND A DRaG SHOW! lol
Embarrassing 😂😂
To have enough greens for thwir diets you need more land than for cows. How ironic.
France, a complete failure in everything from hosting Olympics to world politics – boycott France!!!
What in the FUCK does a animal protein have to do with a goddamm carbon foot print?
