PAWS: 'Veg Prospects' high at Tower, low at Quad, Terrace, TI
Published: Friday, May 9th, 2008
Vegetarian students searching for a place to eat on the Street may wish to consult “Veg Prospects on Prospect,” a pamphlet rating the meatless menus at each of the eating clubs released Wednesday by the Princeton Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).

Terrace's food has gone wayyyy downhill over the past 3 years. They need to get their act together or they will lose some of their amazing social life (definitely best place on the street to hang out, imho) simply due to people disliking their food. Then again, it's still way better than quad's food...!
Thumbs Up! Thumbs Down!
If we're not supposed to eat babies, why are they made of meat?

as far as I can remember (not having the pamphlet in front of me), here were the rankings: 1. Tower 2. Cap 3. Colonial 4. Cottage 5. Charter 6. Cloister 7.Ivy 8. Terrace 9. TI 10. Quad I may have mixed up 4-7. Bear in mind that the rankings were based mostly on quality of salad bar, variety of vegetarian food, and quality of vegetarian food. Incidentally, Charter was only #5 because of lack of variety. Paws noted that the salad bar was excellent and the entrees quite good, but that there were only one or two vegetarian choices. Which is true, but then there aren't that many meat entree choices either--the club just isn't big enough to serve eighty billion different things, like Colonial or Tower. Huzzah for Charter Club! p.s. don't hate me if this text doesn't wrap correctly

Call me a food snob, but I'm sick of the *normal* food at terrace. I can't imagine what it would be like to try to scrounge together a healthful and filling veg meal at terrace given the options. But we get what we pay for, right guys? I still food terrace, though!

Anyone can request a free copy of the report by emailing animals@princeton.edu. The results will also be published online when our website is launched in a few days at www.princeton.edu/~animals. We hope we didn’t offend any clubs with our ratings or comments. We do believe we represented each clubs’ food as accurately as possible, but we are, of course, happy to hear from any clubs that feel we did a bad job so we can correct our mistakes for future editions. As Jon Feyer (Terrace president) graciously noted, PAWS did try to set the bar high because there is always room for improvement. As for PAWS’ tactics, we have a wide variety of events and projects, most of which do not involve blood or nudity of any sort—it’s just that those are the ones you’re most likely to notice. We invite you to check out our more subdued events as well, most of which involve delicious free food…

I know...what silly and terrible editing. TI is in the headline and not even once mentioned in the article! What kind of news is this? Scholastic.

Is there a link to the full report? And if so, could someone post it?

If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?

I wish the Prince would actually give the rankings of the other clubs. Not everyone cares just about Terrace and Tower.

Jon I assume that since your avoiding the meat (and fish of course right) for ethical reasons I'm sure you're also avoiding the equally-disastrously-produced milk and eggs right? Have you even once tried eating vegan at Terrace... it blows. PAWS may say vegetarian but really they largely mean vegan (which is also known as strict vegetarianism).
Thumbs Up! Thumbs Down!
Oh, go throw some red paint on a fur coat or something, PAWS. Or even better - go eat some meat.
Thumbs Up! Thumbs Down!
The thing is people at Terrace are usually too toked up to get a real sense of the food there.
Thumbs Up! Thumbs Down!
I have to say this is ridiculous. I don't know if Dean Malkiel grade-deflated this survey too, but something isn't right. Terrace has vegetarian entrees, sides, deserts, soups and a salad bar with every meal. You might not like the food(=love, D=notlove) but it's just wrong to say there isn't a wide variety of vegetarian options. As a vegetarian in Terrace, I can attest to this fact. I don't eat meat for ethical reasons and PAWS <i>still</i> annoys me to no end. Ridiculous in-your-face holier-than though protests are one thing; but if you're going to rehash hackneyed stereotypes about the eating clubs (“tree-hugging hippies") at least try to be funny.
