NEW YORK- Last week, I went undercover once more. As you may remember, I used my investigative journalism skills to see what was truly going on in the 24-hour-Quiet-Zone- Penthouse-Study-Lounge. Well, I’m back to give you the juicy scoop this week: NYU food waste. I go to Lipton Dining nearly twelve times a day so I can snag a cookie or two, and every time I notice something dreadful. Literal tons of untouched food are dumped into the trash can by students who aren’t grateful for the meals that they hand-picked themselves. There have been national efforts to help reduce food waste like promoting “The Feeling of Guilt When You Put Too Much on Your Plate Initiative” back in 2009 by Michelle Obama. However, I believe I have found a much more efficient and reliable solution: make the food better. You may have never thought of this, but when food actually tastes good, people tend to enjoy it. This leads to more consumption which in turn means less waste.

I know, guys. It’s revolutionary. I actually can’t get over myself right now. It’s pretty genius. Let this article be the first step to action to help reduce food waste. There is only one quick and simple step in order to implement this system: season the Goddamn food, NYU. I’m not paying this much money to not even be in the top ten dining hall schools in the United States. Fix your shit.
