How Healthy Are You?

Coming to college, we all have the best intentions on eating healthy but are we really doing it? This past week, the Student Culinary Council hosted a nutrition dinner in the Marketplace focusing on introducing healthier options to the various stations and making students aware of what they are eating.

As students walked into the Marketplace, we greeted them with dark chocolate squares, home-made granola and fun facts about healthy eating. The dinner offered new additions to the menu such as grilled salmon, new sauces for stir-fry, an extended salad bar, and more. In addition to the healthier options, we now have a nutritionist that works with Sodexo to provide us with nutrition facts and help plan out balanced meals. At the dinner, she was informing students of what a healthy plate looked like.

The nutrition committee is working hard to provide the student body with information and options that they want and need. Yes, of course there is always the options like pizza and burgers but now there are so many more healthier choices in the Marketplace and around campus.
