Freshman OMIS major Nathan Soto said he thinks food options in the dining halls leave something to be desired.

“I think they [need healthier options],” Soto said. “I’m a vegetarian, and all they really have for the grill is boca burgers; they will have healthy options for like three days in a row and then stop.”

Richard Fritz, director of Residential Dining, said providing healthy food options is important.

“We offer fresh fruits, salads, lean cuts of meat and poultry along with many excellent choices on our salad bars,” Fritz said. “We offer eggs to order and omelets along with a variety of other healthy food choices.”

Freshman physics major Tyrone St. John said he wants to see more diversity in dining hall menus.

“In our dining hall they have chicken nuggets a lot,” St. John said. “They need to have more variety.”

Fritz said everyone has a different opinion about what healthy means.

“Healthy means different things to different people,” Fritz said. “We do offer some fried foods like french fries, but even those eaten in moderation accompanied by other balanced choices are not necessarily bad.”

Sophomore pre-nursing major Jessica Prokuski said she thinks dining halls could use healthier food options, but they are taking steps in the right direction.

“They definitely [need healthier choices], but they did just add hard-boiled eggs,” Prokuski said.

Fritz said he encourages all students to voice their concerns about healthy foods with the Residence Hall Association.
