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.

I enjoy the Tully’s vegan items. They have a pretty wide variety of things, so its much appreciated that its easy to identify whats vegan versus other foods that look vegan but are vegetarian. They seem to get the direction food’s going so that a major plus.

If you’re vegan you won’t fare well at Fairfield. They have recently slightly improved the menu with some nice entrees, however I often find that the vegan options they do have are seeping in oil. Props to them for trying but it is really hard to find even quality veggies that aren’t overcooked, undercooked, or soaked in butter for taste. Unfair to have to pay thousands of dollars for the meal plan when there are minimal options in the first place.
