UCSC MEATLESS MONDAYS 09-22-10 07:00 a.v.
Officials at U-C-S-C have agreed to adopt a meat-free day in an effort to create an awareness to a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. The student animal rights group, Banana Slugs for Animals, with help from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, reportedly pushed the University to offer vegetarian dishes only at least one day a week. U-C-S-C dining officials responded this week by agreeing to make one of the five dining halls completely meatless every Monday on a rotating basis.
