I have actually tried to speak to the head chef about it – even pointing out how easy it would be to offer more veg friendly options more consistently (one day, for instance, there was a choice of pasta sauces with a choice of sausage or meatballs. I asked him why they weren’t offering perhaps broccoli as a third accompaniment option because many people would probably enjoy it . . . he said he’d take it under advisement and I said it would be nice if people who didn’t eat meat wouldn’t need to forage for food around here, LOL). Anyway . . . I do plan on trying again and letting them know that there are plenty of people who would appreciate it – your point about people with high cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes is definitely well taken.

Thanks!

Glad to hear you're including veggie dishes in your cookbook - can't wait to see it.

It's interesting to follow your experience as a temporary vegetarian. I quit eating meat 10 years ago, though I still eat fish. I did it for health reasons, rather than on principal. Thankfully I eat fish, because it's rather challenging to find healthy vegetarian dishes on most restaurant menus. The old standby is some unimaginative pasta dish.

Have you considered speaking to the management of your cafeteria about offering veggie meals? Vegetarian dishes are also good for people with high cholesterol, heat disease and diabetes. Perhaps they'd listen if you presented your idea as good for a wide range of people?
