Update

I am in process of scheduling a meeting with bon appetit to talk about where they get their eggs and milk from, so hopefully by the end of the week I'll be able to add them to my list of  local, ethical, okay-to-eat foods. In the meantime, however, I have been eating vegan plus beef and pork that comes from Rastall (Rastall sources its' meat from Ranch Foods Direct, who buys local, free range meat. However, one of their fowl suppliers, Redbird, only packages localy. Therefore, I avoid the chicken and turkey served by Rastall). Engels claims that it is "extremely easy to adopt a vegan diet" and that doing so is also healthier, which makes me wonder if he has ever tried to be vegan. A surprising number of foods are vegan- I discovered that pop tarts, frosted mini-wheats, and potato chips are all vegan. The most readily accessible vegan options have proved to be junk food though, which significantly contradicts' Engels claim that a vegan diet is healthier. Perhaps a vegan diet is easier if you are buying and cooking all of your own food, but as a college student, I would say that a carnivorous diet would definitely be healthier, simply based on accessibility.
