Sandwiches are limited to either egg salad or cheese. Both the stir fry and the veggie burgers are prepared on surfaces that are also used to cook hunks of lovely meat, and they absorb the juices and drippings of beef and chicken. The stereotypical vegetarian salads are nice but overpriced, not filling, non-nutritious and tend to be on the verge of spoilage. For most people, lettuce is a major component in a salad. Although popular and generally favored by the salad-eating contingent of students, iceberg lettuce has no nutritional value since it is comprised mainly of water.
Romaine lettuce is a healthier and more nutritious alternative.
Unfortunately, along with the additional vitamins and nutrients comes a heftier price tag and therefore a no-show at the salad bar. Bean sprouts and tofu, when actually offered at the Garden Emporium, the fancy name for the salad bar, lean toward the rancid side, which can constitute an unnecessary venture into the world of food poisoning. For vegetarians residing on campus, additional hassles come forth in the evening and night hours. Past nine p.m. on any given evening, vegetarian residents are faced with an even more limited selection of food for dinner. Many vegetarians find themselves consuming the same foods for dinner that they had eaten at lunch due to the sheer lack of options.
