With college application season underway and freshmen simultaneously adjusting to a new life away from home, this time a year can be overwhelming. However, plant-based students have a lot more to consider when making the big decision. It’s hard enough deciding what school is the best fit, yet alone which one is the most vegan friendly. Thankfully, there are plenty of resources available to assist young adults in this major shift.

After a debilitating two year break, VegFest is back and better than ever. Bringing people together with entertaining lectures and engaging events, VegMichigan is a nonprofit organization and a huge contributor to the rapidly growing plant-based community. Although VegFest was a huge success in the city of Detroit and the “Largest veg-friendly event in Michigan”, there are definitely criticisms to be made for an event that has such a significant impact on the health and well-being of one of America’s food deserts. With opinions varying from organizers at Action for Animals to regular attendees leading a plant-based lifestyle, this article provides full coverage on the highs, lows, and in-betweens at VegFest this year.

This recipe is an all-time favorite and has become the ultimate vegan comfort food. This burrito would not be the same without Trader Joe’s Greek Chickpeas and Violife Vegan Feta. Seasoned with parsley and cumin, one can of chickpeas has enough oil and seasoning for the whole recipe and the feta cheese is a great way to top it off. This recipe is timeless and can definitely be enjoyed more than once. Pair with our vegan ceviche for the perfect meal.
