The cafeteria. The place we go to feed our minds and give
our bodies the energy it needs to sustain ourselves throughout the day. In
cafeteria you can find a salad bar one of the only areas that actually serves
something healthy. The cafeteria also has a hamburger bar where they usually
serve hamburger patties, turkey burgers, chicken patties and fries. There is
another line that usually serves some kind of “gourmet” meat which changes
daily.
Although it is nice to have a readily available meal served
at the cafeteria. It is a little surprising that Avila University serves food
high in cholesterol, fat and calories. Obesity is a growing concern in America
and for what each student/ athlete pays there should at least be some healthier
food choices or at least change the ingredients that they use to cook the food.
The majority of students are athletes and the food that the
cafeteria serves is not conducive to having a healthy diet, therefore resulting
in poor performance.
The cafeteria has recently been putting the caloric content
of the food that they are serving that day up. They also put the sugar content
of the drinks that they cafeteria has on a poster board with bags of sugar
displayed on it.
According to a secret source there have been rumors of the cafeteria
considering serving smoothies to athletes at meals, and I am almost quite
certain that they would not limit it to such.
