Preview: Eating in the MSU Dining Halls

For many students, choosing what to eat in the Michigan State University dining halls is the simplest choice they will make each day. However, for others, this task isn't quite so simple.

Hannah Lazarus, a freshman at MSU, struggles to maintain her vegetarian diet due to the limited options the dining halls present. Another freshman, Caelen Malmstrom, faces the even greater challenge of being gluten-intolerant.

The MSU dining halls try to accommodate such students by labeling the meals each day with indicators for each dietary restriction, however the options these students have for food have much less variety and variability.

The dining halls also have special sections dedicated to some dietary restrictions – this especially helps to avoid cross contamination in the foods for those students who are gluten free.

Lazarus and Malmstrom both shared their thoughts on maintaining their respective diets in the MSU dining halls.
