Please, sign this petition, if you believe that the food canteen at Science Park Amsterdam should provide a greater choice of vegetarian and vegan (dairy and egg free) options at every meal time:
- more variety of salads and extras(tofu, seeds, nuts, berries, mushrooms,cold-pressed olive oil, ...),
- vegetarian and vegan soup options,
- vegetarian pizzas,
- vegetarian and cheese-free sandwiches (hummus, tahini, paneer, tofu, ...),
- vegetarian sausages, hot-dogs and burgers,
- vegetarian and vegan hot meals (grilled vegetables, tofu, paneer,baked courgette, baked/grilled potato dishes...),
- soya/nut milk products ("yogurts", "milks", "cheese", "spreads", ...)
Many of you probably have decided to lower your consumption of animal products for many reasons including: ethical (animal welfare), religious (observance of certain dietary requirements), environmental (reducing such things as pollution and habitat loss) or health and dietary (cholesterol-free diets, intolerance to dairy products, ...).We believe that the lack of provision of such options by the UvA canteen makes it hard for many of us to meet our ideals, our moral and ethical standards, beliefs or simply health and dietary concerns. Moreover, we believe that increasing the amount of vegetarian and vegan options available at every meal time will increase the number of people dining at the Science Park canteen; as many choose not to eat there for this very reason.
Please sign, if you want this happen!

I have spent recent days speaking with colleagues who find the current lack of dietary variety quite difficult to navigate during their lunch breaks. These conversations confirm that our collective desire for inclusive meal options is rooted in deep personal conviction. We are moving toward a formal discussion with the canteen management to present the arguments you have all helped refine.

Seeing this level of support confirms that many of us share the same frustrations regarding our current dining choices at Science Park. This momentum shows that the demand for inclusive meal options is not just a personal preference but a community priority.

I agree we should have healthier options, but many of those mentioned in this petition contain nuts and seeds, which a number of people are allergic to. If these options could be provided whilst keeping the risk of cross-contamination low, that would be perfect. And some nut and seed free healthy options would also be welcome.
I general we do need better food for reasonable prices! Please, note that a bottle of Coca-Cola at Sodexo restaurant is more expensive than from the venting machine! The facilities of UvA should care more for what its community eats during lunch and dinner. Huge amounts have been spent for super-fancy couches and lounge armchairs in the building but still we are unable to have decent food. The administration should better choose IKEA next time. It still has better and cheaper food for its customers…! Grrrr!
Yes, great initiative! Scientists should eat like scientists and give the right example!
I would like to be able to take only warm vegetables without being obliged to take the full meal!
The vegetarian options at Eurest are usually not tasty at all. Eurest you can do better, also in the fish and meat dishes! If you'd like help with putting together some inexpensive nice vegetarian meals I offer my help! Think about a nice potato curry with rice or a simple version of gadogado for example!
keep going!
Please, add gluten free options.

Finally! It is impossible to find anything decent to eat here if you dont want meat. I end up bringing my own lunch almost every day because the current choices are just sad. Hope they listen.
