Holiday Holidon'ts

Holidays are always fun at school. There's a good atmosphere, fun events on campus, and of course special holiday food. But they are NOT for vegetarians, definitely not. Do you know why? It's because apparently, on holidays, vegetarians don't exist in D-Hall. Holidays are as exciting as a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving for vegetarians here on campus.

As many of you probably know, Tuesday was Mardi Gras, which in French culture is the day of feasting before  fasting for Lent. Supposedly there is supposed to be yummy food. Was there? No, of course not. I mean, Mardi Gras does mean "Fat Tuesday", so of course there would be tons of fatty fried food (chicken, usually) and meats galore. Sounds delicious right? NO WAY! This is a vegetarian's nightmare. The only vegetarian friendly thing on Tuesday was Tofu smothered in Cajun spices which couldn't have been that good. And besides that, I'm not a huge fan of tofu, unless it's cooked right, which D-Hall never does. So, I resorted to salad, which is always a good meal. 

Why can't there ever be some fun and exciting vegetarian dishes at D-hall on holidays? On Superbowl Sunday (Which can definitely be considered a holiday in the eyes of most Americans) it was fried chicken, ribs, chicken, rotisserie chicken, ribs, burgers and.... oh, I missed chicken. It sounds like SUCH a feast, especially for us vegetarians. 

NEWSFLASH D-Hall: Vegetarians exists. Who would have thunk?? Apparently D-Hall doesn't!

To make matters even worse, D-hall has only take one day, no, not even, more like one meal, which was supposed to be Vegetarian Night. Well, this would have worked, if D-Hall ACTUALLY HAD VEGGIE ONLY MEALS!!! D-Hall was like "Oh, yay Vegetarian Night! Let's serve meat!". What a fail. Like come on guys, you can't even have one meal be completely vegetarian friendly. 

Hopefully someday in the near future D-Hall will learn that we vegetarians are an ever-growing population and that they should start to cater more to our needs, since we do have a limited diet. Who knows if we vegetarians will utilize social networking sites like twitter to start an uprising against this horrible food, since Morozov, a theorist I learned about in class, describes how the internet and social networking sites can possibly be used as a means to start a revolt and get a democratic result, benefiting the greater good of the people. Look out D-Hall, don't mess with vegetarians who are technology savvy!
