Essay about The College Diet and Its Effect On Eating Habits

I believe that we, the student body, should have a student kitchen facility because it will give all students access to a kitchen, help students improve their cooking, and will be a great spot for students to get together and

The food service at University of Houston-Downton is terrible with only five fast food restaurants for a school of more of 14 000 students. With a record enrollment for UHD a better food court is needed for the high demand for food choices. The majority of foods on our campus are fast food with no meal plant for the benefit of the students who spend a great amount in tuition. Speaking of unhealthy food, four out of those five restaurants are considered bad for student’s health and with only one salad bar that runs out vegetables when the demand is high. Many of students face the issue of having to go out of school to eat because of the insipid food options at the food court causing them to leave campus, driving to restaurants and with this

This article went against my opinion of the dining halls on western Michigan University Campus. It showed me an opposing view point of nutritious in dining halls.When reading this article I got the impression of delivery and other fast food might not be as healthy as dining food. In the dining hall all the food is made fresh and the dining services knows the ingredients put directly in the food.Other alternatives such as fast food are not as nutritious as dining food. Also, not realizing the food safety precautions that goes into the food process to be able to present it to the student

College is great; you’re starting over in a new place, gaining new experiences, and making new friends. Only thing is you had to leave mom or dad's maybe even grandma’s fantastic cooking behind. In addition to that cooking for ourselves isn’t an option many students have due to money and the fact most dorms don’t have kitchens. Therefore students are stuck with what the dining hall offers. Although a variety of meal plans are available to the students none of them are worth buying if the food is old or it’s the same thing that is offered daily. Here at The University of South Alabama our dining hall lacks a variety of fresh and healthy food. I believe the best solution would be to allow the students to have an input on what

There are vegetarians all over the world. They just want what most people want: good food and a choice. And some people become vegetarians because of their religion, their culture, and the place they live.

For the past several semesters in International College of Liberal Arts (iCLA), many iCLA students have complained about the meal plan. iCLA have tried to improve the meal plan, however, still there many complains and many students seems to be unsatisfied with it. Thus, this study investigated the current satisfaction level and opinion of the students against the meal plan in order to identify the problem of the iCLA meal plan with paper questionnaire, consists of both quantitative and qualitative questions. From those results, the major problem of the iCLA meal plan is most likely the price being too expensive while the quality, especially portion, being disappointing. Furthermore, for the people those care about healthy diet, the nutrition

The transition from high school to college is a dynamic time in one’s life that parallels the change from childhood to adulthood. Both of these changes are dramatic and, as a result, feelings are difficult to put down into words. A messy combination of emotions fills the heart, surfacing in strange ways. Confident high school seniors go right back to the bottom of the chain when entering college as freshmen. These students start all over, just like entering grade school or high school for the first time. The move up from high school to college signals the switch from dependence to self-sufficiency. From a personal point of view, going through the experience of graduating high school and transferring to a residential college campus at STLCOP, made me realize I was no longer a kid and capable of making my own decisions.

On June 10, 2015, Ms. Hwayoung Yi gave a response and approval to proceed with the topic proposal that was submitted on June 7, 2015. I chose to write on the issue of on-campus dining because it reflects a problem that most on-campus students have to deal with during the semester.

This struggle is even more prevalent in the population of college students who lack the funds and/or knowledge to make smart decisions when grocery shopping or searching for food on campus. Food marts on college campuses are typically found offering foods that are not only convenient, but also have long shelf lives. Both of these characteristics do not apply to fresh fruits and vegetables, which is why the University of Arizona provides mostly fast food and quick and unhealthy but affordable snacks. The UMart in the Student Union, however, offers various prepackaged salads, sandwiches, sushi, wraps, and other on-the-go snacks that are made freshly daily. By incorporating fresh and healthy prepackaged foods, the UMart attempts to eliminate students’ habits of grabbing fast food out of pure convenience. The University of Arizona should eliminate some of the fast food restaurants around campus and replace them with markets that will offer fresh produce and healthy prepackaged

Based on research evidence done by Vicki Been, “gardens stabilize and improve their host neighborhoods, bring fresh produce to neighborhood where fresh fruits and vegetables often are not available, and provide recreation and therapy for neighborhood residents.” (Been, Ch.5)Within a campus, students cannot ensure that what they are eating is good dietary foods. When students are eating in dining halls there is no way to tell that the food students are about to consume is fresh, nutritious and healthy. Some students may have particular allergies and cannot consume some of the foods provided by the dining halls. Not only are a plethora of fresh foods unavailable on a college campus but the fresh foods that may be available are costly. More than

To begin, HMS’s cafeteria needs to have more food options. They should have more options for people who are picky. If students are not liking what they eat than they will complain. For example, chicken fingers or hot dogs would be an excellent option. Second, they need more options for people who are allergic to wheat HMS’s cafeteria should give grilled chicken, or more salad options. Finally, there needs to be more options for people who are allergic to meat. HMS’s needs to serve veggie burgers or fish. The school wants everyone to enjoy their lunch even if they are allergic. Some students and staff believe that there doesn’t need to be more options without meat, however, there are wrong because the school needs more meat options. If students

Most colleges easily accommodate vegetarian diets, due to 10 percent of adults being vegetarian, but 0.5 percent of those vegetarians, are also vegans.

The idea that our team believes would be beneficiary to the university is investing in a meal plan that is affordable for students and accessible to more restaurants surrounding campus. In the past few years, the meal plans offered at ODU were costly along with unappealing. When a student chooses to live on-campus they are required to purchase a meal plan. That is, the students who choose to reside in an on-campus dormitory, and not on-campus apartments. The food options that are offered on-campus includes 3 cafes, many Provisions on Demand (POD), and chain restaurants. Although, it may seem like a great deal of options, however, the food is not worth the travel or distasteful. Being new college students, it is challenging to get good nutritional food, especially when the junk food tastes a lot better. Week after week, eating at the cafe’s and chain restaurants gets tiring. Many of the surrounding restaurants do not accept student meal plans which once again, leaves students with dissatisfying food options. Students who choose to purchase a meal plan often times do not utilize their full meal swipes because of dissatisfaction of the options For example, when a student purchases a $4000 meal plan for the school year, the leftover meals that do not get used do not transfer over to the next school year. In the end, if a student does not utilize all their meal plan on mediocre food the money goes to the garbage.

The Darwinian theory of survival of the fittest translates well to the college world. While living on my own, many of my long-dormant, carnivorous instincts kicked in. A trip to the local superstore meant that my pantry was well stocked, but replenishing it was another matter. I soon found myself planted firmly in a regimen of boxed noodles, frozen pizza, and TV dinners. While not the healthiest of diets, they did allow me enough carbohydrates to make it through twelve hours of classes.

Many people are very strict with their eating habits, while others are completely flexible. There is a great combination of patterns which people follow when it comes to eating, with some people even following the pattern of complete unpredictability. I am interested in looking at the eating habits of kinesiology students, because they are more likely to have received some formal education on nutrition practices and are also more likely to pay attention to their nutrition practices. The main idea of this paper is to look at the nutritional practices of students, particularly how often they eat and how they view macronutrients, and to ascertain whether the students believe their current nutritional practices are healthy. The significance of this is to look at different perceptions of what is “healthy” in regards to food. I would like to determine whether there is currently a more common, accepted idea of what is “healthy” among students, or if there is a great deal of differing opinions on the matter. Acquiring this knowledge will be valuable in knowing whether students are receiving sufficient education on nutrition practices, or if they are receiving lots of education, but with differing views, pointing to the need for more research in terms of nutrition practices. I would like to specifically look at the frequency of students’ consumption of food in a day, such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Additionally, I would like to study which macronutrients
