I read this information just now, thought of sharing with you all.
An animal rights group has nominated 40 U.S. colleges for a vegetarian cooking prize. The Northwestern University outside Chicago, is among the group, because here 'one out of five dishes served on campus is now vegetarian or vegan'.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals selected its list of finalists from online gossip on FaceBook and MySpace, from e-mailed comments sent in by students and by looking over campus menus. The nominees include the University of Montana and Boston University.
Northwestern's contract with its catering service, Sodexho, requires at least one vegetarian and one vegan choice at every meal. Vegetarian means no meat or fish, while vegan cooking bans animal products like eggs, milk and cheese.
A second-year undergraduate said, she often goes for vegetarian meals because she keeps kosher. At a lot of places, when you say you are vegetarian, they try to feed you eggplant. I donot like eggplant, she said. Here they will have veggie burgers, or they will replace normal meat with vegetarian options.
Should we be vegetarians or non veg? Please discuss.

I am also a believer in the principle of PETA and in fact it is because of this that I have chosen to become a vegan. I believe that we should protect and also care for other creatures as well, that life is precious and that creatures that bleed and cry or give out a sound when you hurt them should not be hurt or abused. There is just a lot of cruelty done in the process of putting meat on the table so we could eat them. On the other hand, meat harms the body and gives us lots of illnesses, so I guess it is better to become a vegetarian or vegan.

Thank you so much for the response. It is good that you are a vegan now. Research and the human anatomy itself proves that, our body is not designed for eating meat. Compare your teeth, nail (claw), intestine length, night vision capacity with those of the meat eaters , starting from cats, dogs to tiger and lions. The answer is evident.

Excellent information. I am happy to learn that more and more are turning as vegetarians. To be vegetarian is good. I had read in an article that our body is designed to be vegetarian. I am happy that one out of five dishes served on campus is now vegetarian or vegan. Thanks for sharing. ks
