Vegan Dishes on College Campus

Dining halls at George Mason University near Washington, DC, have started catering more keenly to vegan students. Student activist Brooke Nunley took it upon herself to advocate for more vegan options and met with the university’s head chef to provide recipes and ideas for vegan dishes. As a result, the dining halls are offering a number of vegan menu items this fall. New entrées include pizza with vegan mozzarella, vegan Bolognese, meat-free deli slices, soy ice cream, and soy yogurt. University food service provider Aramark reports that nearly one fourth of college students seek vegan options in their cafeterias.
