A'viands expands vegetarian options

The food-service provider at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay will highlight meat-free entrees as part of a new initiative beginning Monday, Oct. 25.

The initiative will begin in the Marketplace, the main student dining area inside the University Union.

“If there is a lot of interest, we will expand the program to other operations,” said Pam Koehler-Zastrow, marketing manager for A’Viands.

Students on the Student Government Association’s Union and Dining Committee and members of the Public Environmental Affairs Council brought the idea to the attention of the University.

The effort is part of a larger, nationwide campaign to expand vegetarian dining options.
