New organization aims to help students maintain a healthy lifestyle
Rachel Amato has never had it easy when it comes to food options. The Elon University junior is a vegetarian, lactose intolerant and has acid reflux. She is also the founder of Eat Right Elon, a new organization on campus that aims to help college students who are vegetarian, vegan, lactose intolerant, gluten free, or have acid reflux. "This organization was like an outlet, and a way for me to deal with these issues and share and discuss my problems with other students and the problems they may have with finding healthy and nutritious foods on campus," Amato said. According to Jeff Milroy, advisor of Eat Right Elon and adjunct professor of health and human performance. "It's an additional resource to increase awareness of your nutritional intake during your college years." Eat Right Elon looks to serve as a resource for people like Amato so they will not have issues finding dining options.
