...Taking food from Annenberg is a daring endeavor. On one hand, the ready-to-go, cooked food is an inviting target for swiping and eating later. On the other hand, Harvard University Dining Services forbids students from taking food outside of the dining hall. As the students and HUDS clash, awkwardness, confusion, and hungry stomachs prevail. It seems clear that HUDS must get a better handle on dining hall food theft and regulate the current black market of hot meal smuggling. Although bagged meals are provided, Annenberg has no substitute for missing a hot meal. Allowing students to take...
...reason people take food is that it is cooked, unlike pre-ordered HUDS meals, and easy to steal. My HUDS, a service that allows students to order bag meals that they can quickly pick up, is a helpful option; however, eating a cold ham and lettuce sandwich is a much different experience than eating a steaming hot eggplant parmesan sandwich. We are paying a hefty fee for our meal plan, with an individual dinner for a guest costing fifteen dollars without tax. We should be able to get the most out of this price. It makes little sense to drain...
...fact, the stockpiling of edibles that frequently occurs in response to this situation is regrettable. HUDS purchases food to accommodate the size of the freshman class, while possibly assuming that some might be taking a little bit of food out of the dining hall. However, those students who hoard enormous quantities of food into their bags are putting a strain on the dining hall and costing the university. It should not be overlooked that HUDS does a great job of keeping costs down as the percent change in board costs has been lower than peer institutions like Yale and Stanford...
...regarding food removal could be reached if the university gave every student a medium, reusable plastic container with the approximate food capacity of a single plate at the beginning of the year. The container could be called EAT, Exiting Annenberg Tupperware, and every freshman would be encouraged to only take food out of Annenberg...
Ideally, an EAT box would be about the size of half a bread loaf and would only hold about a standard plate’s worth. This would allow students to possibly take a burger, some pasta, or a few brownies but nothing that would truly strain the cafeteria. Thus, the net effect could be that less food gets taken out than that which is removed under the current system. Former thieves can leave their criminal pasts behind and find redemption in the new system of taking food. And as the commonplace act of taking food out of the dining...
