Has anyone noticed?

Those of you who have actually eaten at either dining hall, have you ever noticed that the food there isn't that satisfying? It may just be me, but I will eat a few plates of food and still be hungry. I know most people complain about the taste, but maybe its the fact that we have to eat so much of the dining hall food to satisfy our stomachs that our taste buds reject the foods. Perhaps, Pollan's argument may hold some truth. We may actually need whole food instead of processed food because the whole food is much more filling.

    Or we can change our meal plan and eat outside school.
    Maybe the whole food is more filling as you said, but there is still a possibility that it maybe not. What I can do is to tolerate the Britain every time I go there and come back to Woodroof for supplyment(Woodroof is somewhat better and tolerable)~

    I think the reason the food at the dining halls isn't very filling is that eating there can get very repetitive. Whenever I go to Woodys I don't eat much because I've had their food so many times that it isn't appealing anymore.

    I donno,,recently I've walked out of Brittain b/c like I was just sick of their food. Even though, most of the weekends I go out to eat or go home and eat...I just hate food at the dining hall.

    I don't know that I agree that the food doesn't fill me. It just has gotten to the point where it is repulsive and repetitive. I'm definitely changing my meal plan next semester!

    I can't explain how the food makes me feel... I just know that it isn't good.

    Many people complained about dining halls, but they are ok with me. Maybe I am just not tired of it yet since I didn't have food like that everyday in China. However, I don't think some restaurants are making better food than dining halls. Those restaurants in Tech Square look exactly like dining halls to me, and dining halls are cheaper.

    The dining halls have their days. Sometimes ill walk in there feeling great, and leave feeling like I need to throw up. Then sometimes I walk in their feeling great, and leave feeling even better. You probably just caught them on a bad time of the day.

    The food might not be very satisfying, but because it is the dining hall you can go back and get as many plates full as you want. I have no idea if dining halls use a lot of processed food or whatever. But it's the dining hall so I don't expect much.

    For me, I find that the food isn't satisfying because I'm just not use to the food served in the dining halls. Almost all of my meals consisted of rice and spicy main courses so if those two components aren't present, the meal doesn't seem complete.
