Weight Watchers have been in the business of helping the general public in their plight to lose weight and become healthy since 1963. Estimates suggest that 1 or 2 fifths of the population are absolutely vegetarian. Of the remainder more than half eat a mostly vegetarian diet, leaving less than 30% of the total population as frequent meat-eaters. Weight Watchers supply a huge range of ready meals including desserts and yet the smallest minority are vegetarian and (to my knowledge) none are vegan.. As vegetarians and vegans, our money is as good as the next persons. Why then, after 46 years, are Weight Watchers still turning a blind eye to us and refusing to cater for a large percentage of their customer base. We ask Weight Watchers to take this on board and finally open their eyes to and cater for us.

I have been reviewing the feedback provided by many of you regarding the lack of plant-based options. It is clear that the current menu offerings fail to reflect the dietary needs of a significant portion of the population. I am currently preparing a formal inquiry to send to the company leadership to discuss this discrepancy.
