Vegan in college?!
Vegan in college?
Is it difficult to be a healthy vegan or vegetarian in college? I am currently a lacto-ovo vegetarian, and want to become a vegan when I turn 18. But, is it hard to in college? I would probably have to do a meal plan, but I don't want to be stuck with just a few choices, or gain weight. Any suggestions?
Answers:
My boyfriend and I are both college students (though not on a meal plan) and it's easy as pie. (vegan, of course!) I certainly won't tell you that all, or even most, college offer vegetarian options that can be "veganized". But there are usually vegetables, bread, and fruit juices available, so you won't starve. Just supplement with a vitamin, or your own food sometimes. I would take it as a chance for activism: if you don't ask for vegan options, the food providers will (of course) assume there's no demand.
