Hi everyone! My friends and I are very healthy eaters and given we're restricted to food on campus because we're Freshmen, we want to see more options available for us and everyone else as well. This would include seeing more of a variety of fruits instead of just cantaloupe and honeydew, apples, oranges, and bananas, different types of meat e.g. more fish options, more gluten/dairy-free choices, a bigger selection of pasta noodles, and foods that aren't so high in salt or sugar!! We also want to change the meal exchanges at some restaurants since you don't get much food and nobody likes to go hungry! On top of all this, the caf should list what foods they are serving and make more aware the nutritional content of all since it's everybody's right to know what they are eating. Signing this petition means YOU WANT CHANGE AND IT WILL HAPPEN. UT needs to offer more of a variety of foods for their wide variety of diets that they serve on a daily basis and it's our right to have a say in this and not settle for less!!
Thank you so much and we'll keep everyone in tune with what is happening.

I couldn't agree more. There is rarely a fruit option and when there is it is brown. Also the other day my friend and I were in salsa rico and a worker was eating the chips while serving food! that is against health and food violations!!
This is my second year at UT and I could not agree more! My first year, I was dependent on the school food and it caused me to gain over ten pounds and made me feel bad about myself. I refuse to have a meal plan and will only cook the food that has nutritional facts on them so I know what's going into my body. Definitely not a fan of Sodexo's highly processed food with lots of unnecessary sodium.
UT alumna. Would loved to have had more vegan and fruit/veg options during my time at UT.
By attempting to be healthy at UT I have been forced to either deal with the unhealthy food or just not eat. Both awful options. I've been eating 1 meal a day if I'm lucky for that past few weeks.
I definitely agree!! My roommate is gluten-free so there's only 2 options to eat on campus for her and that gets old quick
Yes I always check before I go in haha and yes I've used that app before too! But for the students who aren't aware of it or don't always want to check that, it should be listed regardless in the caf and everywhere else.
Absolutely girl! 100% agree

A meal exchange is about $10 some restaurants on campus need to be forced to put more food that shows this price. The quality is AWFUL, show some respect to your students. They pay thousands of dollars. Plus, a little attitude change on the people who serve the food would be good.
