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.

Wake Forest has consistently good lunches during the week. However, on weekends and at dinnertime throughout the week there is often just vegetables or the same rotation of a few entrees. In conclusion, it’s very hit or miss, but at least consistent. I end up normally eating breakfast in my room, having a vegan meal at the vegan station for lunch, and eating salad for dinner. Also note that there are not many vegan options at other stations in the main dining hall or vegan choices at other on campus options.
