With restaurants like Steak n Shake and Grille Works on WKUs campus, it can be hard to find vegan alternatives.

Louisville junior Megan Laffoon has been a vegetarian for eight years. She said she struggles with finding substantial meatless options within the meal plan.

Most of the dining places offer vegetarian options, but its things like grilled cheese and peanut butter and jelly, which are not really good options, Laffoon said.

She said it is hard to find options on campus that provide the necessary protein for a meatless diet within the meal plan.

If youre a vegan, there really is no place to eat on campus unless you want to spend a lot more money than what the meal plan offers, she said.

A vegan is someone who does not consume any animal products, such as meat and dairy food nor do they use any products derived from animals.

Fresh Food Company began Meatless Mondays at Mongolian Grill this month, which will provide vegetarian options to students. This will last until the end of October.

Brandi Breden, Aramark dietician, implemented Meatless Mondays as a way to add more healthy alternatives to the meal plan.

She is currently creating a list of meals for students with special diets, such as vegetarians and vegans, which will come out within the month.

There are actually a lot of options for vegans, Breden said.
