UNION CITY- Logan students satisfy vegan cravings

[Guest guest]

UNION CITY — For years Seema Rupani, a slender long-haired high school

senior, has carried her own lunch to school. As a strict vegetarian

who later became a vegan, cutting out all dairy and other animal

byproducts from her diet, there wasn't much — if anything — she could

eat from James Logan High School's cafeteria.

 

But Rupani and other members of the Youth Humane Society student club

hope to change that. They envision a high school cafeteria where

students choose between bulgur and burgers, soup and salami, and beans

and burritos, where the line for natural fruit juice, nuts and vegan

soups stretches as long as the queue for pepperoni pizza.

 

" Something I've been wanting to do for a really long time is get

healthy and vegan foods available, " said Rupani, the club president.

" Why shouldn't we be a leader in our district (when it comes to)

healthier options? "
