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. Check out which universities are moving with the times and offering vegan options!

UNCG offers very little vegetarian or vegan fare. If I did not have the option to drive to local Thai and Mediterranean restaurants, I would be eating piles of iceberg lettuce every day. There are no organic options, unless you are willing to buy pre-pakaged snacks. It is nearly impossible to find vegan options that aren’t wilted, and from a small salad bar. Often times my “vegan” option comes with cheese and/or sour cream. We need fresh, vegan options that aren’t simply a packaged raw bar from the Starbucks or salads.
