The Dining Hall at Wilfrid Laurier university has gone from being terrible to becoming an actual health concern. With second semester transitioning to in-person, the dining hall is now packed and food quality has decreased significantly. The Fresh Food Co. team has been working tirelessly, yet they remain understaffed while Laurier administration profits millions from meal plan costs imposed on students. I want it to be clear that this is petition is not directed against the Fresh Food Co. team, but Laurier’s administration. My friends and I, and many more have experienced eating raw/undercooked food. Especially during a time like exam season, raw food and feeling unwell is the last thing students need. Especially for those living with meal plans on campus, many are now feeling helpless. I recall a significant number of students choosing to live at home during first semester, simply due to how poor the meal plan food is, but since we’re now in person, we are left with no choice. Especially since most students are not financially well-off, Laurier needs to take action. We as students are spending way too much money eating out, let alone how much money we are spending on one of the worst Dining Hall’s I’ve ever come across. Laurier preaches how healthy their food options are, which is so ironic, given how unwell the food makes Laurier’s students feel.
