Hollins administration really needs to reconsider its position on health and nutrition. As an all-female college, one would think that the school would be on board with the health needs of growing and developing, young women. Well, they're not. Why in the world are french fries and hot dogs available at every meal?! Where is the low/fat-free salad dressing or the whole wheat pasta? Why, when the cooks saute vegetables, do they use so much oil?! You only need a teaspoon (enough to coat the bottom of the pan)! Or the deli sandwiches for instance.. they're huge! Anyone can see that that's more than a single serving size. I find it so interesting that they refuse to use salt in any of the dishes, but instead decide to pump it full of artery-clogging grease.
This is inexcusable. I want fresh vegetables and grilled meat. No more fried food. No more cream sauces. I want a delicious salad bar. We're not inmates, so how about doing away with institutional food?! We're supposed to be 'Women Who Are Going Place.' I think my diet should contribute to my progress; not impede it.
This is what I think of someone who has poor nutritional habits:
