I guess the pressure that I put on today, weighed heavily on your mind (LOL).I chuckled as I read "Where's the beef" because I remember that commercial fondly. As a student affairs professional, I always find it interesting what things or causes (as they affectionately see them) that our students want to lay down on their swords for. I agree that many institutions (not just colleges or universities) impose their organizational values on its members. I wonder if they have a food service committee or something similar that they asked the students feedback or polled the campus and found that there was an interest in offering more vegetarian options. I know that as our campus moves to smoke-free in the next couple of months, I wonder if our smoking population is going to protest in some manner or retreat in apathy (i.e. find creative ways to smoke on campus and try not to get caught). Hopefully, the campus administration will use the students' protest as an opportunity to stimulate dialogue with the group of protestors and campus the community because there is a real opportunity for learning in this scenario.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245925776929860639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170673323667259319.post-18899243120464229452011-03-09T22:45:58.163-05:002011-03-09T22:45:58.163-05:00Suppose they offered a "veggie-less day"...Suppose they offered a "veggie-less day" where every single thing offered had meat in it. That would probably upset the vegetarians. So, eliminating meat for us carnivores is like having a day without an entree. Limiting an entire class of food from the menu is especially pertinent for people who are on restricted diets who have to limit their carb intake, or who have wheat, gluten, soy, or peanut allergies. The caf' at IUP always had a huge selection, and I never remember a day where there wasn't at least something that I could eat. And there was always Mountain Dew or Chocolate Milk, and ice cream for Jeremy to eat with a knife.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
