ok so honestly.....when the dining services give you a survey to fill out about what you would like changed why is there not a section where you can write in "can we please be served real food so that our meals don't reinforce the conception that we are starving from malnutrition in a Russian military camp outside Stalingrad in October 1942." i mean honeslty....give me a break. there are so few times when i have ever had something that is good. it is as if we are forcing ourselves to consume some slop in order to continue to move and maintain homeostasis. the few times i have had something good, it is such a shock that i dont know what to do with myself. my response is to eat it every time till the positive response is habituated and i no longer want that food. hmmmm peanut butter sandwiches when i was a kid anyone? i think so. basically, the state needs to focus on education and make that a priority, give us more money so that we can continue to be a great institution and so that students won't get so frustrated. we are here for the academics, but that doesnt mean we have to be emaciated or ill-fed at the same time.

disclaimer: the macaroni and cheese at the marketplace is good and occasionally the brocoli and cheese soup or clam chowder....but as i said, i get sick of eating just those things. Also, I am not directly blaming the dining services workers because i think they work really hard and do a great job with what they have to work with.
