How to Find Healthy Options in ANY College Dining Hall

Eating a whole foods diet is the cornerstone to a healthy life. Currently, the U.S. is facing an obesity and diabetes epidemic rooted in consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs). Of the top 25 food manufacturers in the United States, 86% of their products are UPFs. The state of our food system - and what is abundantly available and marketed - has led to consumption of UPFs for more than 50% of the average Americans calories. The result? Roughly 75% of Americans are overweight or obese and nearly 40% is pre-diabetic. We need to make a change now - and this starts with eating a whole foods diet.
