Family, friends, and social situations

Like any lifestyle change, your decision to begin eating a healthier diet may lead to some difficult or uncomfortable situations.

New student guide to vegetarian and vegan options, on and off campus
 
This year, for the first time, Toronto Vegetarian Association printed a special mini Vegetarian Directory for first-year university students.

Thousands of full-colour cards were printed and included in frosh kits at York University and OCAD. We still have cards available to distribute if you know any campus groups that can use them. Online, the information is available at veg.ca/campus.

The guide includes the best vegetarian restaurants close to downtown campuses, the top three vegetarian-friendly places to eat at York U, vegetarian fast food options, vegan sandwich suggestions, veggie groups, cooking classes, nutrition, links for finding a veggie roommates, recipe suggestions and much more.
