...hours, the committee entertained the idea of instituting a “flexible” points meal plan, which would allow undergraduates to eat in participating campus restaurants as well as dining halls. This plan was recommended by a consulting firm hired in the spring of 2006 to assess HUDS?? efficiency. According to the report, the committee decided against the flexible plan because it would disrupt the tradition of House dining, which committee members said serves as the foundation of House life. “When we were examining the dining hall issue, we considered maintaining House life...
...between 8 to 24 percent more than battery cage egg production, which translates to an increase in production cost of about 3 to 12 cents per dozen eggs. Hoopes and her supporters have written a letter to HUDS urging them to switch to cage-free eggs. The letter recognizes HUDS?? other efforts to promote environmental sustainability and commends its Food Literacy Project. Any student can sign his or her name to the petition by requesting a paper copy of the letter or by filling out an online poll. According to Hoopes, over 600 students have signed the petition...
...Let’s begin with the issue of food waste. HUDS?? food waste audits have revealed that the average student leaves approximately 100 pounds of uneaten food on his tray over the course of a school year. Multiplying the recent audit figures by the number of undergraduates, we find that students are wasting a prodigious 400,000-700,000 pounds of food each year. The Resource Efficiency Program valiantly attempts to convince students to minimize their food waste, but in the end, students have little motivation to comply. Why shouldn’t we pile up three...

And if fewer people take their meals in the dining hall, House life and communal spirit will be critically damaged. Or so the argument goes...
...Another objection to reform might be that a decline in the volume of meals served would drive up per-meal prices by eliminating HUDS?? economies of scale. But this argument casually assumes that HUDS?? current production level produces economies of scale benefits. Further, it claims that allowing students to make choices would lead to a drop in sales that would significantly cut into those benefits. Even if these premises are correct, HUDS can adjust by consolidating some dining halls to reduce costs or allowing other more competitive vendors to lease dining hall space...
