Try Vegan

The Middlebury Campus

To the Editor:

As a long-time vegan, I enjoyed reading about Kristen Faiferlick’s month-long run with a vegan diet (“Vegan for a Month,” Apr. 8). The author sums up my sentiments perfectly: Everyone should try out being vegan!

It’s easier than ever to go vegan. As a growing number of people are opting for animal-friendly meals, restaurants, grocery stores and college campuses across the country are meeting the demand by dishing out vegan options — from veggie burgers to bean burritos to savory meat alternatives and more.

We can stand up for our health, the environment and animals every time we sit down to eat.

Sincerely,

Francesca Valente
