house by trucks that burn diesel, washed, packed, delivered to a food broker or three along
the way, delivered to your school, (all those deliveries are by diesel burning trucks), and
served by people making something above the min wage.
What do you think milk or that salad ought to "cost" you?  |
In the very same town, off campus, I can get a salad at any fast food place that costs $3.69 (+ 9% tax). And is better quality. And has more ingredients (cucumbers, more tomatoes, bacon). It costs me more to eat on campus than off. However, since the "meal dollars" have already been paid, I have to use them up in the next month or so.
