I see Cornell already doing a good job at having plant based options, but I support the movement to expand even more.

Vegan food here is disgusting. They should provide better plant based options to encourage consumption in the first place.

Adding more plant-based options would help Cornell reach its climate goals, as well as be a leader in serving sustainable food. Serving more plant-based options would also be more inclusive, as dairy and eggs are two of the most common allergens, and about two-thirds of the population in lactose intolerant (with percents being higher for minority groups, such as Asian Americans and African Americans). Plant-based foods are also Kosher and Halal, so they are the most inclusive option.

I am a Hindu and I like to eat a lot of vegetarian foods and as such I think it would be beneficial to have more plant based options.

Personally, I would like more [plant based] options. Secondly, I know many people who would be happy or even prefer plant-based options, but only eat dairy/egg because it's difficult to find vegan food on campus. Also, I don't go to dining halls often, I'm more likely to interact with catering at talks and seminars, and they're almost never vegan. Would be nice to have plant-based catering
