{16} OPINION - LOCAL ISSUE

Many students attend the SAU Blue and Gold dinning everyday multiple times a day. In a community that is a big as a university many food options should be granted to the students. We have a selected amount of food choices that we could choose from right here on Campus but are these choice the best for everyone. 

The options that we have are Chick-fil-la, Subway, Taco's for Life, Panda Express, Starbucks and the Blue and Gold Dinning. The Blue and Gold Dining area has a Comfort station, a pizza station, a burger station, a salad station, and a grill station. 

All other food places are mostly fast food places such as Wendy's, Taco Bell, McDonalds, Dominos or other restaurants like Mexican or seafood. Southern Arkansas University and the city of Magnolia should have better food options. This definitely applies to the Athletes. We should have a variety of healthier food places to eat from to keep a healthy and maintained diet.  

Many students don't care about the ingredients they put in their bodies, but as a person you should and especially as an athlete. There are students that walk around giving out surveys to all people that attend the cafe. For some reason, nothing has changed much in the cafe. They ask about the service, the waiting time, the quality and quantity of the food, and the cleanliness. Nothing has actually changed in the time I have been here at SAU. 

The food that we consume in our bodies on a daily bases should be priority. I feel as though we should have better and more options as students than we do. Lets help the Blue and Gold Dinning experience better.
