After living at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, I have ad an interesting dining experience on campus. I usually eat at Brown Hall which is nicknamed "The Caf". I usually eat there three times a day because I selected a meal plan that allowed me to. Anyways, after reading both "Taking Local on the Road" and "You Can't Run Away on Harvest Day", I was forced to review the food that's prepared in The Caf. Back home in Charlotte, my family was always conscious about eating organic meat that wasn't prepared in a processing plant instead of raised on the farm. We have always gone to the local market to purchase meat from the merchants there.
Here at UNCA, I do have to think about where the meat is coming from and if it is friendly to the environment or not. I do believe that the cafeteria is conscious about what it is serving to its students, and also that it accommodates many different lifestyles including being vegan or vegetarian. I do love our cafeteria and I can't help but feel like the school has a more liberal and non-processed approach to cooking food. The food is tasty and delicious and I love the variety of meals that the cafeteria serves. Overall, the dining experience here at UNCA is fantastic.
My family also looks for organic options, and I agree that our cafeteria is pretty good, but I think UNCA could make a better effort to provide high quality, healthier food options.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with this response as I feel the same way after reading those stories. The caf is a great dining experience.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I think the food in brown is very good and I'm very glad they give so much information about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your experiences have been good! I guess I don't have a wealth of experience with college cafeteria food, but it does seem as though Brown is trying to do its best.
