Long gone are the days of sloppy joes and pepperoni pizzas being the only offerings at post-secondary cafeterias. Now, Canadian colleges and universities are setting and surpassing sustainability targets for plant-based food offerings.

Tl;dr: plant-based food options are on the rise at Canadian universities.

I’m skeptical of some universities’ self-reported #s though, particularly “York University hit 60 per cent vegan offerings in 2024.”

    In general, I find that plant alternatives in things that are saucy and will absorb the flavour are nearly indistinguishable or better than meat.

    Good “Chicken” substitutes have become so good I’d rather have them over some god knows from where and what cutlett.

    And there are veggie parties that are not meant to be meat like, but are delicious on an entirely different level.

    The beyond, and such burgers are equally delicious though their price is spectacularly ridiculously high.

    Still hard to find a non rubber veggie dog, though.
