KEELE UNIVERSITY SNAGS SPOT ON ‘VEGAN-FRIENDLY UNIVERSITIES’ LIST
PETA Expands List of Universities Offering the Best On-Campus Vegan Food Options
Keele – As more students than ever before are going vegan, PETA has expanded its list of the Most Vegan-Friendly Universities in the UK. Move over, meat – now, one-third of UK universities have vegan or vegetarian cafés, there are plant-based hospitality catering options and Vegan Wednesdays, and there’s even a vegan graduation!
The animal rights group has selected 31 universities based on the availability of plant-based food options on campus and their initiatives to promote vegan eating. And Keele University earned a spot on the list, thanks to its vegan options. The Atrium food court in the Chancellor’s Building offers delicious vegan street food options, such as Moving Mountains burgers, noodles, and mezze platters. And The Refectory is fully vegan on Wednesdays.
“Students in the UK are going vegan in huge numbers, and it’s great to see universities joining the revolution,” says PETA Director Elisa Allen. “PETA commends Keele University for offering healthy and delicious vegan food options that everyone can enjoy.”
PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat” – notes that in addition to sparing nearly 200 animals a year a violent and terrifying death, every person who goes vegan reduces his or her chances of suffering from heart disease, diabetes, strokes, obesity, cancer, and numerous other ailments. Vegans also have significantly lower carbon footprints than meat-eaters do, as animal agriculture is a major producer of the greenhouse-gas emissions that cause climate change.
