UNIVERSITY OF BATH SNAGS SPOT ON ‘VEGAN-FRIENDLY UNIVERSITIES’ LIST

PETA Releases List of Universities Offering the Best On-Campus Vegan Food Options

Bath – As more students than ever before are going vegan, PETA has released a list of 20 Vegan-Friendly Universities in the UK to celebrate the institutions that best support students wishing to follow a compassionate, eco-friendly diet.

The animal rights group has selected 20 universities based on the availability of plant-based food options on campus and their initiatives to promote vegan eating. And the University of Bath earned a spot on the list. Students in Bath never need to go hungry, thanks to the many vegan options at vegetarian deli The Patch. If you’re lucky enough to study there, you can choose from a variety of sandwiches, wraps, salads, smoothies, hot and soft drinks, and snacks. The Patch uses locally sourced ingredients, including organic vegetables from a nearby farm.

“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 the University of Aberdeen for introducing 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.
