Solution to the problem of dining hall

There are many categories about our campus to choose, but our group thinks the most general categories related to campus issues are dining service, academic atmosphere, library service, traffic conditions and parking.

Among the five categories, dining service interests us most. It is a category about our daily life and we must face it at least 3 times every day. It will also affect our health. We often hear the complaints about the dining service from our classmates. It seems to be a big problem. 

We take five problems based on dining service into consideration. They are unhealthy food, high price, long time for waiting, discriminatory for dorm students and closing in weekend or holidays.

As far as I’m concerned, unhealthy food is the most serious problem that must to be solved from now on. It is a problem about our daily life and we must face it at least 3 times every day. It will also affect our health.

What negative effects will unhealthy food lead to? Firstly, it will lead to obesity. As scientists find, there is a phenomenon called “freshman 15” which means students are expected to get fatter by 15 pounds after they enter college. Nowadays, obesity has become a severe problem among teenagers in America. Secondly, unhealthy foods are more likely to make students fall ill. Viruses are more likely to enter students’ body to cause disease. Thirdly, too much oil and fat and little vegetables will break the diet balance of student and make them feel sick. As we all know, there is a proper proportion between meat and vegetables and the proper proportion will make people healthy. The forth effect is that unhealthy foods will make students lack of energy. Too much junk food can’t provide the necessary nutrition for life and will lead to a state called “sub-health”. Last but not least, unhealthy foods can’t make students focus on their study. A healthy body is the guarantee of study. Unhealthy food makes students feel sick. As a result, they will lack of energy to study.

To solve the problems caused by unhealthy foods, we carry out 5 possible solutions as follow. Firstly, the menu should be changed. It’s better to consult a dietician. Secondly, the food materials should be fresh enough. The materials that are not used should be placed in fridges as soon as possible. Food materials determine the quality of food. If the food materials are fresh enough, the food will include fewer viruses. Thirdly, vegetables and meat should be matched at a proper proportion so that the food will not make students become fat easily. The forth solution is that good cookers should be employed to manage the mess hall. A good cooker’s management will improve the quality of food. Finally, when the foods become healthy, more foods are expected to be provided to students at the same price. 

Among the five solutions, the first one finally becomes the best solution after our discussion.

Changing the menu by consulting a dietician will solve the problem in 5 ways as follow. Firstly, vegetables and meat will be matched at a proper proportion so that the food will not make students become fat easily because the dietician will give a scientific menu. Secondly, students will no longer feel tired of eating the same food so that they will have a good mood. Thirdly, students will be more energetic and be more enthusiastic about their study. There is a common saying in China. “Food is the paramount necessity of the people”. The forth effect is that they will keep a good figure and a healthy body. Last but not least, they will be satisfied with dorm life. 

The first, second and third reason become the best 3 reason after our discussion.

There are 3 major objections to this solution. Firstly, to change the menu costs lots of money. It means that all styles of the dish have to be changed. The cost of such great change is too high. Secondly, it may lead to a waste of food. Finally, it’s hard to determine what proportion of vegetable and meat should be used. 

To fight back the first objection, we have a good idea. It’s not a problem about money but about students’ health. In addition, money can be taken from other less important projects. After all, the quality of food is a vital problem. And it will be support by most students.

How will the solution work? We will explain it as follow.

A new menu designed by a professional dietician will ensure the quality of foods. Healthy food materials will be chosen and healthy foods will be cooked. Besides, the proportion between vegetable and meat will be controlled properly so that students will not get fat easily. Introducing new and healthy food every period of time will meet every student’s favor. Healthy food keeps students in a good figure and a good mood. They will feel satisfied when studying. Besides, this will provide them enough energy to face the pressure on study.

Let’s go back to other four solutions to see why they can’t solve the problem totally. For example, the forth solution is that good cookers should be employed to manage the mess hall. Though a new cooker will brought new food to students, the food can’t be ensured to be healthy. He cooks well and the food is tasty but he may use too much meat and ignore the importance of vegetable. Besides, his management will not change the food totally, because some cooker will not listen to a new cooker’s demands.

To confirm our ideas, we can do an interview or a survey. There are mainly four kinds of people we can turn to for help. They are students in our campus, dining hall cookers, students’ parents and the manager of the dining hall.
