Union Market adds real meat to the menu

Real meat is real neat

For as long as anyone can remember, the Union Market has been responsible for providing both faculty and students with food throughout the school year. Whether it be for breakfast, lunch or dinner, Union Market always has the meal covered. However, over the past year, students have stated their dissatisfaction and thoughts about the lack of food variety that falls outside of the vegetarian and vegan scope. 

On March 27, the Union Market announced a major change that will take place in the cafeteria.The cafeteria decided to move away from their strict policy of only serving vegetarian and vegan options and start incorporating dishes and other food options that contain actual meat. This was done in order to cater to the existing population of students at Union College who are not vegetarian or vegan and prefer consuming meat. Union Market is currently in the process of changing the existing stocks of fake burger patties, sausages and meatballs with authentic ones that contain clean animal meat such as fish, chicken, beef and turkey. 

According to an anonymous student, this decision was “a great decision by the Union Market staff, as students have long been wanting and waiting for more variety and choices when it comes to their daily meals.”

According to Union Market workers, the new change of policy will be implemented soon during the spring semester and will continue on until enough feedback from the students are received and weighed with other considerations included. It is expected that this policy will be in full effect sometime in the coming months.
