Students Follow Vegetarian, Pescatarian Diets, Survey Shows

The Oracle conducted a survey to find out how many Archer girls identify as vegetarians, vegans, or pescatarians.
According to the survey, 68 percent of Archer girls are meat-eaters, 15 percent are vegetarian, and 13 percent are pescatarians. Only 4 percent are vegans. Additionally, 44 percent of the girls who do not eat meat or fish have been vegetarians/vegans for more than five years.
