...free” and the waste is sadly plentiful. HUDS should be commended for its egalitarian effort to keep economic disparities out of our dining halls so that rich and poor can eat together as a community. But at the same time, the all-you-can-eat meal plan contributes to a culture cavalier about its leftovers. We are insulated against the realization that throwing a slab of meat or an uneaten salad onto the conveyor belt is qualitatively no different from idling your car instead of parking it, or running an air conditioner and heater at the same time...
...there are 278 Dream Dinners locations and some 60 other meal-assembly kitchen chains serving about 350,000 customers a month, each of whom typically packs an ice chest of 12 meals in little more than an hour. In fact, there are so many of these places that a website, mealassembly.net helps you find the one closest to your home, whether that's in Seattle, Sydney, Singapore or Saskatoon. The industry got so crowded last year that some stores are closing, and many--like Super Suppers--are selling premade frozen meals, at no extra charge; some are even starting...

Maybe the jaded attitude that predominates much of campus stems from the nature of our student body: a group highly trained in close analysis. While critical thinking may be an asset for philosophy papers and biology exams, outside of class it can generate a constant stream of nitpicking complaints. But whether or not you feel...
...Burger Palace--with a menu featuring variations from different parts of the U.S.--starting in Smithtown, N.Y., and Monmouth County, N.J. "Everybody across the country now understands that at any price point you should be able to eat well, whether it's a burger or a prix fixe meal at Thomas Keller," says Flay. "People are finally willing to pay more for better food, whether it's fast food or five-star food." Keller's upcoming Burgers and Half Bottles in Napa Valley, which pairs his house wines with simple burgers, was conceived back when he lived...
