New Leaf: Vegetarian and vegan fast food options

By Lauren Belcher | cbelcher@flagler.edu

Once you make the decision to become vegetarian or vegan, you typically have to eliminate fast food from your diet. But, you don’t have to.

The fast-food chains are finally catching up to the times and providing more options. So whether you are a full-blown vegan, a softhearted vegetarian, a person who wants to reduce their meat intake or anything in between, you now have options.

The haunting myths and legends of historic St. Augustine inspired graphic novelist Andre Frattino to write and illustrate a fictitious graphic novel centered on the city and Flagler College.

“Flagler’s Few and The Reaper of Saint George Street” brings three Flagler College students and a wannabe pirate together. When a murderous poltergeist begins lurking around St. Augustine, these “few” must pull together and save the city.
