PETA ♥'s NU's Lunchrooms

Northwestern is among forty North American colleges and universities in the running for PETA's most vegetarian-friendly campus, to be awarded next month (if you're so inclined, you may vote for Northwestern or any of the other nominees here). The nominees were compiled by students throughout the US and Canada and tallied by PETA2, the animal-rights organizations youth activism arm.

Northwestern was cited for its extensive vegetarian and vegan-friendly options in dining halls throughout the campus. NU's food service contract with industry giant Sodexho requires that the company must provide one vegetarian and vegan entree and soup for lunch and dinner. Executive chefs at NU's six mess halls have also learned to season and work with tofu and seitan beyond simply throwing it into a pan.
