EWOT: Danforth

With meals being served at a surplus with it's mediocre taste and petite portions each plate, Danforth's buffet has become the last resort to anyone dinner on the University of Rochester. However, one may argue that if you take too many dishes, you are wasting food that can be used to feed others in different countries. The problem is that statement was always false. To begin with, the food is sent to the University and then cooked for students. The food that was cooked will be given to students to either eat or thrown away due to the expiration dates. But would it be economically beneficial to leave the dishes out instead of trying them out? The answer is no. The dishes left behind would serve a purpose for others not to take the food. The food would look more and more cold and unappetizing. Moreso, if the food is untouched, the people working for Danforth either use that as their meal or thrown out. If anything the economy of food marketing would decrease since the workers get the food as their meals and they don't use part of their paycheck to spend on lunch or dinner. Overall, the students should be allowed to take the food that they desire and if they ultimately don't like it, it would not affect the economy. The statement would still be false and the food that was not used would never be used to feed others in different parts of the globe.
