I eat on West Campus at least twice a day, every day, but I had never really stopped to think about the people that make the food or the thought behind it. I was very impressed with the initiatives Cornell dining is undertaking. I had no idea that they have an app, which seems like it would be a very helpful thing to have. It provides information on dining hours, menus, and nutrition information.
Another cool program of Cornell dining is trying to make vegetables the center of the plate, instead of meat. This will help with overall health of students but also with sustainability. I also really liked that the chefs take our opinions into account. They analyze what food comes back uneaten, and adjust their menus accordingly. They also have an extensive compost program, which serves to help the environment.
Hi, my name is XuTing. The talk sound very interesting I was wondering what is the name of the Cornell dining app you mentioned? Thanks!
hmmmm i’m not sure the name of the app but the speaker told us to go to now.dining.cornell.edu to learn about it, so you should check there.
I never thought about how much goes into the behind the scenes as well. It is interesting to note that so much is accounted for in order to feed cornell students
