Thank you for printing the story about picky eaters in the dining halls (“Choosy eaters,” Sept. 9). The article was very informative and opened my eyes to the struggles some people face when they choose (or are forced) to eat on Grounds. Food can be a very touchy topic with many people, but I appreciate you addressing the situation in a realistic way as it currently stands at the University. It looks like you did the necessary research to report on picky eaters by getting a variety of quotes from students, and I hope that the University community sees that Dining Services is taking the proper steps to offer students what they want or need.
