Nutritional Food Group

Did you ever notice how after almost every time you eat something from the university’s food sources, you never feel so great to have eaten it? Everyone knows that school food is never the greatest. Kutztown seems to have a decent variety of food on campus but as one of the groups in this class discovered is that we don’t have much of a healthy variety.  This group did nutritional facts and researched how healthy the food actually was here. I was kind of shocked to see the number of calories in everything and how bad some things were for us. They made good points and did in-depth research to get their point across.  Yeah, some people don’t really care about how healthy food is for them or what they are actually eating but like I said I was shocked to hear what all they discovered. Apparently, a group from another composition class already got through to the higher level people they needed to talk to about this issue but it didn’t do much as well. Now we have a few more fruits or vegetables to choose from but still no better quality of food. This group asked the question to people if they would be willing to pay more money if the school was to improve the food. I definitely believe the food on the university campus is extremely overpriced the way it is and should not be raised if they improve the food. Someone stated in their interviews that the prices should remain and that they should just even it out by improving the quality of the food they are providing. It’s crazy how much we are paying for meal plans or meals alone at the quality and amounts they are served at now. I definitely agree that this is a problem on I’m sure many campuses and will hopefully improve as the people keep reminding them.
