Students Speak Series #5  

What are your thoughts on the cost of food at Trent? 

 "The cost of food at Trent speaks nothing of the environmental and social injustices that occur as a result of the farming systems in place that [our current food services] support. I feel like the link(s) between the consequences of production and marketing the product are hidden because if they were revealed, the consumers would spend their money elsewhere. I want more transparency and available consumer knowledge."

"In my first year, I was forced to buy a meal plan... and eat food I don't feel ethically good about consuming. Eating is something you have to do every day and it is important to feel good about what you eat."
