    On the SE campus for the first time since the challenge has started, where there are plenty of tasty animal-free options at the cafeteria. Not only can you order a vegan burrito, Snackrilege has a variety of sandwiches available. There are also salads, fruit packs, and overnight oatmeal. Yesterday I went to Papa G's on Division for lunch/dinner and had their vegan burrito special - absolutely incredible. Glad I live in a place like Portland where experimenting with an animal-free diet is so easy to do!
