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.

Only labels some vegan entrees, for the most part it’s up to you to read the ingredient list. The express line (one that changes daily) will have a meat and vegetarian option, sometimes that option will be vegan sometimes it won’t. And there is always a vegan patty offered. There are vegan cookies/brownies in the kitchen in a box labeled “vegan,” though they don’t put vegan desserts out for the entire cafeteria. They have become a lot more receptive to vegan options and have improved a lot–but there is still room for improvement.
