Nicole Labarge

Nicole LaBarge is an environmental studies major at Hamilton College, a liberal arts college in Upstate New York. Two years ago, she joined her sister in becoming a vegan – a difficult thing to do while at college. Since then, she has experimented with vegetarianism, and now raw foods as a way to be her healthiest, happiest self. On campus, Nicole is involved with many groups focused on building a sustainable food system; she is a Campaign Coordinator for Hamilton’s Slow Food club, as well as a member of the Real Food Challenge – a movement to bring local and sustainable foods into the college’s dining halls. In her new blog, vegarawatarian.wordpress.com, she hopes to show college students and young adults that going raw can be easy, cheap, and a lot of fun!
