Thanks for Christopher Gohlke's column, Veganism requires conviction and a taste for the exotic
from Feb. 21. The good news is one in four college students feel vegan options are important for reasons ranging from cruelty to animals, environmental protection and better health.
Colleges are rapidly increasing their vegetarian-friendly options because of student demand for healthy meals that do not contribute to animals' suffering. From faux BBQ ribs and soy cheese pizza to vegan cheese cakes, vegetarians can eat all the delicious food they want without supporting practices such as confining animals in tiny cages or slaughtering them. If you visit peta2.com/college, you can see the list of peta2's most vegetarian friendly schools and get tips on compassionate consumer choices.
Students go to school to be informed and to apply their knowledge to the real world. Who really wants to wake up every morning knowing they are going to pay for animals to be crammed into cages, beaten and then bled to death? When young people learn more than one million animals are slaughtered for food every hour, they understandably want to avoid being part of that violence.
