Smith singled out for vegan, vegetarian options

Smith, along with many other colleges nationwide, has expanded its vegan and vegetarian meal options in recent years. This year, youth animal rights organization peta2 recognized these efforts by selecting Smith has one of the top 32 schools in the U.S. for providing vegan and vegetarian dining.
"Smith's success in offering great vegan options is good for students' health and for the school's bottom line," said peta2's Senior College Campaign Coordinator Ryan Huling in a press release. "More and more young people are learning that the best thing that they can do for animals, the planet and themselves is to go vegan."
For many students, Smith provides a supportive environment to make vegan or vegetarian food choices. Lillie Scheffey '13, for instance, praised Smith for including vegan protein substitutes at meals.
