Students everywhere are making the connection between eating meat and world hunger, and students at the University of Texas–Arlington have even made the Connection Café serve vegan food!
An initiative was brought about by several student groups to change the current climate for vegan food options (which was cloudy with no chance of veggie meatballs) in the dining halls. These resourceful students proposed a measure in Student Congress demanding a vegan entrée at every meal and a clear list of ingredients. It was passed unanimously with a vote of 35 to 0.
UT-Arlington students are super!
After dining on chickpea curry, apple coleslaw, and jasmine rice, UT-Arlington student and Vegan Club President Ann Mai had marvelous things to say about the newly implemented modern meal choices. Check out her critique on her blog, The Broccoli Bulletin.
Texas, formerly known for something or other, is now known as one of the most progressive states for vegan food choices on campus. UT-Arlington joins a long list of vegan-friendly Lone Star State colleges, led, of course, by the University of North Texas, which lays claim to the first all-vegan dining hall in the U.S. (but not the last)!
Proposing a bill in your college’s legislative body to get cruelty-free foods on campus is an attainable goal for any college student. Contact us for political pointers!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
