A whole plant based university that caters? Cool!
Catering companies, in search of greater profits, will assume this means loads more high fructose corn syrup and “vegetable based” saturated fats. More garbage, more obesity.
You’re making a strawman.
You think college food service companies are going to suddenly care about quality?
Going plant-based doesn’t automatically mean they will choose the worst food possible. The whole foods plant-based diet is the healthiest and cheapest.
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.
Is it also gluten-free?
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
OK I’ll bite, surely there is no legit reason for this…
Some people have trouble getting specific nutrients from plants or not enough from plants.
B12 (anemia), D3 (osteoporosis, heart disease), Iron (anemia),
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.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30909722/ This meta analysis shows that dairy doesn’t help rates of osteoporosis and hip fraractures.
Interesting. Oddly enough the lowest rates of osteoporosis occur in countries with the lowest rates of dairy consumption and there appears to be evidence that it could be causal.
this is just recycled poore nemecek. it’s bad science gaining entrenchment.
What’s “good science”? Imagining that carnism is somehow healthy, sustainable, and environmentally friendly? Good luck with that.
