This is the email I wrote to the arbor room
Hello
I recently found out that the veggie patties that you serve at the arbor room are made with beef broth. A great deal of vegetarians and vegans eat at your establishment, it is extremely important that the food is labeled appropriately. By havign them labeled as veggie patties you are misrepresenting them as vegetarian food when they are not. I know there are many vegetarians and vegans who feel strongly about this. We would appreciate it if this problem were addressed immediately.

Here is the responce email, oh yeah fight the power!

Hi,
Your email came a a surprise to me. I phoned our patty supplier and it is the case that the patty crust uses animal fat, although there is no broth involved there. We'll stop buying the veggie patties and try to source out a supplier that has a vegan product.

I'm somewhat curious as to where your information came from, as our misunderstanding is due to using a small Scarborough bakery that does not label their product.

Your concern, of course is very important to us, as we do make the effort to have products available that address our students varied dietary needs, especially vegetarian and vegan.

So my source was wrong, but the product was still using animal products . . .either way soon the veggie patties will be good for carnie, veggies and vegans alike,
