By Timothy Ellison • Nov 16, 2007

I ORDERED THE NO. 3 platter at The Old Spaghetti Factory last Friday and the waitress responded with a wry smile, “The meat lover’s platter, sure.â€Â What did she say? A meat lover? Me? It felt dirty, especially since my girlfriend was sitting right next to me.

Fat chance

I'M FAT. Local news stations like reminding me. I'm not alone, either. News of every flavor reminds me that it's an epidemic. That means you have it, too, or you will.

To brown bag it or not to brown bag it?

By Allison Asahina • Nov 14, 2007

The price students pay for convenience –– err, maybe not. Plenty of food choices are available to students on campus and off, with prices almost equal to the variety of options. A fast paced life can make an impact on health and on the wallet. Price plays almost an equal role to convenience.

Dorm food really not that bad

By Benjamin Baxter • Oct 31, 2007

It would be a shame to throw away my perfect sandwich. It may look like an ordinary pastrami, roast beef and pepper jack with mustard on wheat, but it is also a work of art. It was made with such...
