A table outside a Boston hospital cafeteria offers samples of a daily special: a soba noodle stir-fry with shiitake mushrooms and mixed vegetables. Andrea Venable, a parking services employee in a bright red uniform shirt, picks up a small plastic cup and peeks inside.
"Looks like noodles," says Venable. She shrugs. "I don't know. I guess I'll give it a try."
She likes the sample but she's not convinced by the cafeteria's efforts to introduce more plant-based dishes. "I think it's good for the people that eat, like, vegetarian," she says.
Venable is not one of them. She likes meat and isn't interested in eating less of it.
