Dear [Name], 

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. As the [parent/guardian] of a [vegetarian/vegan] student, having adequate lunch options is important to [student name] and me. Offering vegan menu items appeals not only to vegetarian and vegan students but also to those looking for healthy, climate-friendly, or kosher options. 

I would love to work with the school to add JUST Meat to the cafeteria menu. There are so many delicious recipes to choose from, and Eat Just can provide samples for a tasting. Adding this item would be an easy, compassionate decision that would greatly benefit students who avoid animal-derived foods for ethical reasons, for health, or to help the environment. In fact, according to a 2025 GlobeScan survey, 69% of Gen Z consumers want to eat more plant-based foods. 

Providing well-balanced vegan meals is one of the best things that you can do for the health of your developing students. Meat, dairy, and eggs are known contributors to heart disease, obesity, cancer, diabetes, and other common life-threatening conditions—and these foods are the leading sources of saturated fat and cholesterol in the American diet and are devoid of fiber. Plant-based foods are free of any dietary cholesterol. On average, vegans tend to have lower blood cholesterol levels and are less likely to suffer from hypertension and the other health issues mentioned above than their meat-eating counterparts, and JUST Meat’s nutritional value speaks for itself. 

Eat Just is available through Aramark and Sodexo and can be ordered easily! My friends at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals can also put you in touch directly with the company to discuss further. 

Looking forward to talking more soon! 

Sincerely, 

[Your Signature]
