VEGAN AT NORTHWESTERN IN CHICAGO ILLINOIS AREA
By Hana Takemoto, former VRG intern
College is going really great! In every single dining hall, there are clearly labeled vegan and vegetarian options that taste amazing. I've even heard some people say that they go for the vegan options because they just taste better. Those options definitely seem more nutritious – more vegetables and variety vs. the non-vegetarian options, which tend to have more fried foods and less vegetables. Today for lunch I had tofu, chickpeas and lentils, and stir-fried veggies, and for breakfast every morning they have vegan pastries. The only thing I would add to make my dining hall better is some non-dairy milk, but since there's a Whole Foods and Trader Joe's close by it's not really a problem. Overall, it's a LOT easier to be vegan here at Northwestern than at home.
