Some of the many cruelty-free dishes that helped push these schools over the top include vegan Korean barbecue, spicy seitan in miso broth with noodles, Italian tempeh mock sausage, and vegan sloppy Joes! Drooooooollllll.
All of the schools in our list deserve mention though, and all of you high school students who are searching around for a campus with great meatless meals should definitely give these campuses a look.
In the unfortunate situation that your current school’s cafeteria doesn’t rock as much as these ones though, we’re here to help! You’ll want to start by downloading our “Veganize Your Cafeteria” campaign pack, and setting up a meeting with your Dining Services manager. Then, contact us and we’ll work with you get some amazing options too!
Vegan food > everything else.

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 :)
