Whether they’re concerned about the climate catastrophe, saving animals, or improving their health, more and more young people are recognizing the benefits of going vegan. According to the Good Food Institute, the sales of animal-free foods grew three times faster than overall food sales in 2021. Research shows that Gen Zers specifically view going vegan as a way to promote compassion toward animals, address the climate catastrophe, lower their carbon footprint, and promote sustainability.

Overall, Radford Dining offers many options for vegans and vegetarians on campus. They even offer a to-go line called, “Jack & Olive” that features pre-packaged food items that appeal to special diets of choice and some allergy needs. In the dining hall, there is a dedicated station that focuses on providing meat-free options, as well as a variety of plant-based proteins.

As a student, I’ve actually taken the time to meet with the dining hall manager about implementing vegan options, they’re in the process of making changes and recently added labels, however they are not always reliable and the lack of options can be frustrating.
