<p>You probably meant no harm, but that really was a rude response to this person. She shouldn’t just “eat a burger.”</p>
<p>Vegetarian fare at most colleges is not very imaginative, which is so not necessary. I am not a vegetarian now, but was in my younger years, and know that it can be a very delicious lifestyle, if done right. Unfortunately, most dining halls are rather ignorant about high protein meat alternatives like quinoa, amaranth, sprouted tofu, tempeh, or dairy alternatives like nutritional yeast based “no-cheese” sauces. </p>
<p>Due to USDA subsidies for the most unhealthy foods, the healthier foods tend to be more expensive. Farmers can make a lot more money on corn, beef, and dairy given the generous subsidies. I encourage everyone to watch “Food Inc.” It will forever change the way you relate to food and “agriculture.” </p>
<p>Also, good luck finding grass fed beef or free range chicken on any campus.</p>
