BLOG POST #37- Fake Nutrition

Stony Brook has recently become very health conscious apparently. They want students to eat healthy. Avoid the Freshman 15. There are various ways to eat healthy on campus! BULL. SHIT. The food in college is crap. It’s made with crap. It’s sold for crap prices. It’s overall crap. And you know what? If they weren’t so fucking stupid about it, I’d even let them pretend that they were concerned for our health and eating healthy. But they are morons!

The healthier the food, the more expensive it is. My am I paying close to five dollars for a tiny tin of sliced strawberries that I can finish in two bites? Am I paying for the service of them slicing the strawberries for me? Honestly, it’s absurd! So while a tiny tin of strawberries and a bottle of water will cost be around eight dollars after tax, if I buy two slices of pizza, it comes with a fountain soda as a special for only five dollars! The same goes for burritos! Only five dollars! The fattening food in large portions is still cheaper than healthy food in tiny portions.

But that’s not even where they are blatantly lying about their concern for our health. I laugh when I see a salad with tuna, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables at a calorie count of 340 calories. Then I pick up tuna alone, with nothing else, but the same size as the tuna that is included in the salad and this calorie count is 420 calories. How can something with less food be more calories?! It doesn’t make sense! And then they sell these whoopee pies. Four of them come in a tin and it says serving size is one tin. The calorie count is 1920 calories. How can anything on this planet that is 1920 calories be ONE serving? That’s BULLSHIT!
