If I Could Change One Thing About TCU...

We are starting to construct our websites and we've been brainstorming topics that we want to base our websites around. There are several controversial issues on TCU campus that you always hear students complaining about such as diversity and parking, but I wanted to choose a topic that wasn't a regurgitated topic. Since I was born and raised in California I grew up with a family that taught me all about eating healthy and how essential it is in life. My parents were by know means "granola eaters," but we definitely loved to eat organic. We'd grocery shop at Whole Foods or Trader Joes which are all organic food markets and would always try to eat healthy. When I decided to go to college in the state of Whataburger and fast food galore, I knew my eating happens would be changed drastically. My eating habits have definitely changed, not because I'm in college and "can only afford a cup of noddle for dinner," but because there are very few healthy options on or around TCU campus. There is one organic restaurant in all of Fort Worth called Spiral Diner and that is about 10 minutes away. The only organic grocery store is Central Market and that is a good 10 to 15 minute drive as well with traffic. The only food places around campus are Dutches Hamburgers, Red Cactus mexican food, Potbelly sandwiches, Einstein Bagels, and the Bluu cafeteria which usually is filled with pizza, hamburgers, and a mediocre salad bar. Sure we have Potbelly and Subway sandwich to get some healthy options, but you can only have a sandwich so many times. I've decided to develop a website based around the idea of implementing more healthier food options on and around TCU campus. I think this is a very essential issue that needs to be addressed and I want to show people at TCU why eating healthy is so important. I'm excited to create a website about something I'm passionate about. Now I just need to figure out the complications of Dreamweaver!
