Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Spanish term or phrase:
Menús veganos en escuelas, hospitales y cárceles
English translation:
Vegan meals in schools, hospitals and prisons
Spanish term
Menús veganos en escuelas, hospitales y cárceles
We would not say "school menus" we would say "school meals".
The piece is not talking about separate vegan menus but rather options on existing ones.
I do not find "meal" as an entry anywhere, however. What do we think?
Thank you.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Vegan options
Many thanks. It's treading that fine line between finding an authentic match and veering too far away from the original that I find tricky. My feeling is maybe this is too far from the original? |

vegan food/lunch at schools, hospitals and jails
Many thanks for that article and suggestions. |
vegan options for schools, hospitals, and jails
I wish I had such an option where I do my food shopping in a free world.
Thank you. Options is certainly looking like a favourite, now. |

See p. 20 of this link re Asian vegan meals https://www.imperial.nhs.uk/~/media/website/patients-and-vis...
This article talks of vegan options

I agree that menu is wider. The menu shows the vegan options. The patient would then get the vegan option, or vegan meal (“vegan meal” is also used on planes).
