As long as they have an alternative for people who need to consume a lot of dairy products due to health conditions like me I’m all for the main menu’s being vegan

Severe Osteoporosis and Related Hypocalcemia. Basically anything where you need to get as much calcium as possible into your diet.

Probably applies to people with malabsorption syndromes too.

Supplements help but for people on the more severe spectrum they aren’t enough and they need to eat high dairy diets.

I’ve had one prescribed by my doctor ever since my osteoporosis became severe.

So we're now at the point where change is proposed to be imposed on poorer groups to save money for rich institutions, and done under the guise of it being "for the environment".

For example, instead of slashing costs, this could have been sold as providing better quality, nutrition and value for the same cost. I.e. Spend the same but get better food for the money.

But no, they had to target financial greed and shitting on the poor, in this case students.

Most vegans are poor.

Also a whole foods plant-based diet is healthier.

Sounds like a win-win. Speaking as a non-vegan and non-vegetarian, meat should be less ubiquitous in our diets anyway.

I always knew the vegans were right

Seems not bad, a lot of vegan and vegetarian food options with catering I've occasionaly sampled have gotten comparably tasty, too. I'm not a compulsive meat-eater but I'm not on any strictly plant based diets either. We've long known that water and energy inputs for plants are an order of magnitude less than meat for the same output.
