So peta2--the world's largest youth animal-rights organization--asked students across the country to nominate schools in peta2's first-ever "Most Vegetarian-Friendly Colleges in Canada" List, and the University of Waterloo has made the grade.

The delicious selection of smart vegan food at UW includes vegetarian chili, tofu-veggie stir-fry, and grilled tofu steak.

"UW deserves an 'A' for meeting its students' growing hunger for delicious vegan and vegetarian meals," says PETA College Campaign Coordinator Pulin Modi. "Every time students choose a vegetarian meal, they're taking a bite out of cruelty to animals and helping to ensure their own good health at the same time."

After visiting the voting address, and the main peta2.com, I was unable to figure out what exactly peta2 is. Their website is somewhat lacking in an obvious placed description. I also wonder about this "vote". It seems more like a popularity contest as to which school can get the most people to register for their website and vote for it.

It is the people for the ethical treatment of animals, I found a page in a click that had an about peta link on it.
