In the USA article above it talks about how a student named Grant chose Yale over Harvard not because of the university, but because of the sustainable and organic food options they offered at the university. Colleges nationwide are starting to by more food from local farms. Why not TCU? About 80% of students surveyed at Yale said they'd eat in the dining hale more if it had more sustainable and organic food options. Some students are even going as far to planting their own vegetables in their backyards. I think it is understandable for large universities with hundreds of thousands of students to have a large food distributor, but TCU? TCU needs to jump on the band wagon with other accredited private universities and start buying form local farmers instead of these large food companies.
