Sounds like a win-win. Speaking as a non-vegan and non-vegetarian, meat should be less ubiquitous in our diets anyway.
I always knew the vegans were right
So we’re now at the point where change is proposed to be imposed on poorer groups to save money for rich institutions, and done under the guise of it being “for the environment”.
For example, instead of slashing costs, this could have been sold as providing better quality, nutrition and value for the same cost. I.e. Spend the same but get better food for the money.
But no, they had to target financial greed and shitting on the poor, in this case students.
Most vegans are poor.
Also a whole foods plant-based diet is healthier.
not even a vegetarian/vegan, and this is not a bad idea at all. a lot more people than I thought need to learn to love their veggies, nuts, beans, etc
If it’s made for me I’ll eat it…
As long as they have an alternative for people who need to consume a lot of dairy products due to health conditions like me I’m all for the main menu’s being vegan
OK I’ll bite, surely there is no legit reason for this…
Severe Osteoporosis and Related Hypocalcemia. Basically anything where you need to get as much calcium as possible into your diet.
Probably applies to people with malabsorption syndromes too.
Supplements help but for people on the more severe spectrum they aren’t enough and they need to eat high dairy diets.
I’ve had one prescribed by my doctor ever since my osteoporosis became severe.
Interesting. Oddly enough the lowest rates of osteoporosis occur in countries with the lowest rates of dairy consumption and there appears to be evidence that it could be causal.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30909722/ This meta analysis shows that dairy doesn’t help rates of osteoporosis and hip fraractures.
Some people have trouble getting specific nutrients from plants or not enough from plants.
B12 (anemia), D3 (osteoporosis, heart disease), Iron (anemia),
Is it also gluten-free?
Not if it’s seitan
Yeah, that is the polar opposite of gluten free. Hail seitan! 🤘
Thanks, seitan.
Seems not bad, a lot of vegan and vegetarian food options with catering I’ve occasionaly sampled have gotten comparably tasty, too. I’m not a compulsive meat-eater but I’m not on any strictly plant based diets either. We’ve long known that water and energy inputs for plants are an order of magnitude less than meat for the same output.
this is just recycled poore nemecek. it’s bad science gaining entrenchment.
What’s “good science”? Imagining that carnism is somehow healthy, sustainable, and environmentally friendly? Good luck with that.
good science is recognizing that LCAs are not transferable between studies, so poore-nemecek’s analysis must be disregarded.

Catering companies, in search of greater profits, will assume this means loads more high fructose corn syrup and “vegetable based” saturated fats. More garbage, more obesity.
You’re making a strawman.
You think college food service companies are going to suddenly care about quality?
Going plant-based doesn’t automatically mean they will choose the worst food possible. The whole foods plant-based diet is the healthiest and cheapest.
A whole plant based university that caters? Cool!

This is a dangerous diet.
I think most folks are aware that’s the diet that contributed to killing Steve Jobs. Kind of the poster child for not running Fruitarian.
He’s the last person you want to be tagging about diet lol
I’m 83% certain you’re joking, but joking about the diet that helped kill Steve Jobs isn’t cool.
It was mocked in Notting Hill before Steve Jobs ruined it for everyone.
I wasn’t aware of the myth that this is what killed him. It’s an interesting one that has little merit. There are studies that suggest a link, but it’s not a strong one. It’s not like smoking and lung cancer. To say his diet killed him when there could be other causes seems way off base. Did it kill Patrick Swayze too?
In Notting Hill, the advocate for this diet (which shall go unnamed for safety reasons) supported it for moral, not health reasons.
I think the reason it killed Steve is that he did it in lieu of getting other medical treatment.
I had heard that he was not seeking traditional care. If being on the diet made him think he didn’t need chemo, the diet didn’t kill him.
