As a member of Bucknell University's community, I am personally appalled at the subpar and potentially hazardous food provided by our current vendor. Our plates have been consistently filled with meals that do not just lack in taste, but also pose health risks.

Countless students, faculty, and visitors share my concern. We are troubled by the lackluster quality and possibility of food safety violations. Studies indicate the critical role that good nutrition plays in cognitive function and overall student well-being (Kamarehie B. et al, 2020). It's high time Bucknell University aligns with these findings and ensures that every one of us has access to healthy, safe, and tasty meals.

This complaint is not unheard of, evidencing a reflective sentiment across the university body. To this effect, we urge the decision-makers at Bucknell University to reevaluate the current food service vendor. We should prioritize a provider that values safety, quality, and variation in the meals offered, just as much as we do.

Help us secure better food for our well-being. It's time we relish the meals we deserve. Please sign this petition.
