After a busy autumn term, Nottingham University Vegetarian & Vegan Society are incredibly proud to be receiving national recogntition. Please help us to further bolster Nottingham's reputation as a veggie and vegan stronghold by casting a vote for us to be the UK's top veggie-friendly university. Thank you!
NOTTINGHAM UNIVERSITY NOMINATED FOR PETA2 US'S FIRST 'MOST VEGETARIAN-FRIENDLY UK UNIVERSITIES' LIST
The Vote Is On to Determine the UK's Best Vegetarian University
Nottingham, UK — Nowhere is the fast-growing demand for nutritious, humane vegan food more evident than on university campuses. So peta2 US, the youth arm of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals US, asked students across the country to vote for the campus they think should be on the list of the "Most Vegetarian-Friendly UK Universities", and Nottingham got straight "A's".
With dishes on their menu like Kusherie, Egyptian Rice and Lentils served with a rich tomato sauce, it's easy to see how Nottingham made the grade. And since Nottingham has a reputation as one of the most forward-thinking cities in the UK, it is only suitable that the city's university would match those standards. Everyone who casts a vote at peta2.com/uk will be automatically entered to win a £50 Amazon gift card.
Why are so many students giving meat, eggs, and dairy products failing grades? Vegetarians are on average fitter and trimmer than meat-eaters, so being vegan is the way to go if you want to avoid piling on the pounds. Also, consumption of meat and other animal products has been conclusively linked to heart attacks, diabetes and other killers. And going vegetarian is the single-best thing that you can do to help stop animal suffering.
”Nottingham University is meeting its students' demand for smart food choices in the most delicious ways imaginable, and educating them in the process", says peta2 US's Dan Shannon. "After all, what more valuable lessons can students learn than how to help stop animal suffering and protect their own health at the same time?"
Other nominees include Bristol, Glasgow and UEA. Universities were chosen according to student nominations, feedback through MySpace and Facebook and direct communication with the schools. Everyone is eligible to vote, and winners will be announced in November.

btw - try checking out F-floor of the medical school for a glimpse of how seriously the university treats animal rights... it's all life-saving science, of course, producing anti-depressants and other drugs that don't work.

Gill Langley(of Dr Hadwen trust fame): experimented on rabbits and coakroaches(without a license to *gosh*). Only the "university educated" could do such a complex job, such as that.

We are also working with the SU shop, and Students Union Bar. The latter should have 3+ vegan options daily, and the SU store will hopefully have clearer labelling and a greater variety of vegan friendly snacks.
If you have any suggestions, complaints or comments please feel free to contact me and I will gladly do my best to tackle the issues at hand.
We're a relatively new society, but we have big plans. Watch this space!

And for all you close readers, I would just like to take this opportunity to deny ever having attempted to eat the university. I meant "eat *at* the university"...of course.
