DANGEROUS EATING HABITS
I don't have time to eat on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have class straight from 11 AM to 6 PM."
It is no secret that college students tend to adopt unhealthy lifestyles and eating habits. Studies have shown that this is due to high stress levels and low self-esteem. Because these factors scientifically put college students at a disadvantage for adopting healthy eating patterns , dining halls should take extra steps to encourage healthy eating. One of my close friends has such a tight schedule that she has difficulty fitting in meals. "I don't have time to eat on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have class straight from 11 AM to 6PM", she once remarked. Those days, she frequently munches on granola bars throughout the day until she has time to indulge in a big, often unhealthy meal. When hungry and stressed, one is less inclined to make good eating choices.
