We had a series of updates concerning our efforts to try to improve vegetarian and vegan options on campus.
First,
Holly's report: Holly is our representative to Dining Services and
attended a recent meeting where she was, unfortunately, unable to do
more than provide her introductory remarks
because of time constraints and the presence of a large number of people
in the meeting. On the plus side, Holly did have time to ask about
having an ingredients list—though Dining Services seemed unreceptive to
this on the grounds that their chefs prepare
food slightly differently at different times.
Update
on contact from Peta (courtesy of Jennifer) we are still waiting to
hear further suggestions from our contact in Peta who has had success at
improving vegetarian and vegan
options at their own school. We are especially interested in suggestions
about how to approach Dining Services and what kinds of questions would
be best to place on a survey to explore campus support for improved
vegetarian and vegan meals.
It was also suggested that we might want to look into what it would take to include meal preference surveys for all future incoming students.

Finally,
Marketing and Communications has informed us that if we want to poll
the university electronically the way to go about this would be to
make-up our survey using one of the
many survey websites that exist and then we could include a link to the
survey and details in the daily announcements.
We will be showing Veg-Educated showing November 8 at 7:00 in the Student Union Theater.
We will be tye-dying shirts at next week's meeting! If you're interested please bring a white shirt to next week's meeting!
