Recap: Eating in MSU Dining Halls

While Caelen Malmstom and Hannah Lazarus both struggle to satisfy their dietary needs, they do recognize that the MSU dining halls are making an effort to accommodate their requirements.

"The caf staff is always helpful and willing to work with me when I ask," said Malmstrom.

The MSU dining halls face the challenge of meeting the dietary needs of specific students while also catering to the appetites of many of MSU's students.

MSU culinary services have made efforts to make it easier on students with dietary restrictions to find what they need with resources like the MSUtrition database and access to a registered dietitian.

Malmstrom and Lazarus suggest that the menus might be planned more cohesively to integrate their dietary restrictions with the everyday meals served in the dining halls. Lazarus thinks that adding more vegetables and vegetarian options to the menus will also help other students eat a healthier diet.

The dining halls have improved each year by adding new options to accommodate these dietary restrictions, and both Lazarus and Malmstrom are hoping that next year will be another step in the right direction.
