...weeks ago, Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) proposed, during the Committee on House Life (CHL) meeting, the possibility of a “flexible meal plan” that would improve the residential dining system to better accommodate students’ schedules and respond to student demands for extended dining hall hours. This particular plan would allow students to purchase 21 meals per week, while enabling them to use a number of these meals as Board Plus money that could be used in campus cafés such as the Lamont Library Café or the Greenhouse Caf?...
Adopting the “flexible meal plan” would allow students who have class during the lunch hours to stop, for example, by the Barker Center Café instead of skipping their (already paid for) meal in the dining hall or paying twice for their food. In addition, the plan would lessen the burden on over-crowded dining halls, potentially allowing Houses to scrap their inter-house restrictions. Students who now flock to Adams House to grab a quick meal between classes might chose, instead, to simply eat a salad in Barker Center. And the flexible meal plan...
Although House Masters and students are concerned that the increasing students’ options might hurt House life, the plan would only affect those students who are already skipping dining hall meals (or quickly running through their dining hall to grab on-the-go food).

Long a staple of roadside diners and harried family cooks with no time to bake a lasagna, breakfast for dinner appeals to our cravings for soft, warm comfort foods that aren't heavy but still...
...Perhaps most important, many people find a good breakfast to be satisfying for the soul as well as the stomach. "Breakfast has a better image than any other meal," says Leon Rappoport, who surveyed hundreds of diners on their feelings about food for his 2003 book How We Eat: Appetite, Culture and the Psychology of Food. He says that people generally associate the morning meal with family, coziness, and casualness, whereas dinner feels formal, heavy and even sad, particularly among young men.
