Flex Dollars Wanted, Pizza Bagels Needed

Flex Dollars Wanted, Pizza Bagels Needed

Crisis at Lake Forest College: students across campus are realizing that they’ve exhausted their Flex reserves and have zero dollars left in their accounts. This sweeping epidemic is unlike any dip in the Flex economy we’ve ever seen, with over 50 percent of students completely out of money. Maybe it was the new chili cheese fries at Boomer’s, or maybe it was the Red Bull necessary for counteracting a weekend of all-nighters and beer die….

You Pay More Per Caf Meal Than You Think

Many students are unaware that the same meal in the cafeteria can cost one student $7.86 and another $11.32—a 44 percent difference.

Aramark food is the best! – Don’t you just love the low-flavor, high-carb choices provided in the Caf?

Are students satisfied with the food choices offered in the school cafeteria? “Aramark food is indeed wonderful,” said Jamie Oliver ’12, as he delighted himself with baked potatoes placed near some pasta already on his plate.

At the end of each meal, students rush out of the dining hall, stopping to throw out leftover food and hurrying to whatever next commitment awaits. However, in recent weeks, some students have stopped to notice the excessive amount of food waste in the Cafeteria and have asked: “Does Lake Forest College have an eating issue?” According to the Food Recovery Network, an organization aiming to reduce food waste across college campuses, approximately 22 million pounds…
