Dear Aramark,
I am writing to you on behalf of myself and the rest of the student population with regard to your selection of vegetarian and vegan friendly foods in the Cafeteria at Nipissing University and Canadore College.
PETA has deemed Aramark one of the most vegetarian friendly catering and food-services companies in North America. This is wonderful. However, I fear that this has not translated into increased availability of vegetarian friendly options at Nipissing University/Canadore College in particular.
The cafeterias at Nipissing and Canadore do not offer sufficient vegetarian and vegan food and drink options. Even when foods are advertised as vegetarian the staff at the Nipissing/Canadore locations have on numerous occasions warned that the soups are made with meat based broths and the stir-fry options may contain traces of meat and meat broths etc. This is unacceptable. If it contains meat it is not vegetarian.
I would like to propose that you begin offering more vegetarian friendly options as well as vegan friendly options. This can and should include:
vegetable based soups, stews and chilies
soy/nut based milks made available for vegan (and lactose intolerant) visitors to the cafeterias
a larger selection of meat, dairy, and egg free salads, sandwiches and wraps
As a vegan student with a high level of concern for our environment and my health I urge you to take my concerns stated herein seriously. I thank you in advance for taking the time to consider the suggestions I have made.
Sincerely,
Johanna
It doesn't sound as angry as I was when I was writing it...I guess that's a good sign.
That is all.
