This is to some extent understandable—there isn’t much any of us can do with our dinner plans to alleviate starving in Africa. HUDS might, of course, cut corners, reduce waste, and try making us pay for the food we eat but, in the end, students might have to accept that, between paying Harvard workers a “living wage,” the benefits of unlimited dining...
