      STUDENTS
      TAKE
     
     
      IMUINGRIES

      his
      past
      week
      |
      wandered
     
     
      around
      campus
      asking
      stu-
     
     
      dents
      if
      they
      put
      much
      thought
     
     
      into
      their
      nutritional
      intake.
     
     
      As
      we
      all
      know,
      most
      of
      us
     
     
      have
      a
      ‘quick
      fix’
      from
      the
     
     
      vending
      machines,
      which
      re-
     
     
      ally
      do
      not
      contain
      very
      nutri-
     
     
      tional
      foods.
     
    

    
     
      To
      my
      astonishment,
      many
      people
      said
      they
     
     
      really
      do
      not
      think
      about
      it
      at
      all.
      Most
      students
     
     
      do
      not
      worry
      about
      what
      they
      eat.
      Why
      is
      this?
     
    

    
     
      To
      be
      honest,
      when
      |
      sat
      down
      and
      thought
     
     
      about
      my
      day,
      |
      realized
      that
      |
      do
      not
      put
      much
     
     
      consideration
      into
      what
      |
      eat
      either.
      |
      am
      one
      of
     
     
      the
      lucky
      ones.
      My
      father
      always
      makes
      me
     
     
      breakfast
      in
      the
      morning
      before
      |
      go
      to
      classes,
     
     
      and
      when
      |
      get
      home
      at
      night,
      supper
      is
      always
     
     
      waiting
      there
      for
      me.
      Most
      days
      |
      make
      a
      iunch
     
     
      to
      take
      to
      school,
      but
      there
      are
      some
      mornings
     
     
      when
      |
      just
      do
      not
      have
      the
      time.
     
    

    
     
      This
      is
      the
      way
      it
      is
      for
      most
      students.
      Time
     
     
      is
      a
      major
      factor
      in
      eating
      proper
      foods.
      If
      we
     
     
      look
      at
      the
      average
      university
      student,
      his\her
     
     
      day
      consists
      of
      classes,
      studying
      and
      working
      on
     
     
      assignments,
      leaving
      very
      little
      time
      for
      proper
     
     
      meals.
     
    

    
     
      _
      Many
      students
      stay
      up
      later
      than
      they
      should
     
    

    
     
      for
      various
      reasons,
      so
      in
      the
      morning,
      sleeping
     
     
      in
      the
      extra
      ten
      or
      fifteen
      minutes
      it
      takes
      to
      eat
     
     
      breakfast
      is
      a
      priority.

      guess
      we
      figure
      that
      the
     
     
      snooze
      is
      better
      for
      us
      then
      the
      meal,
      yet
      we
     
     
      seem
      to
      forget
      that
      our
      energy
      comes
      from
      the
     
     
      food
      we
      eat.
     
    

    
     
      Making
      lunch
      is
      a
      real
      hassle,
      believe
      me,
      |
     
     
      know,
      but
      a
      sandwich,
      apple
      and
      juice
      is
      much
     
     
      better
      for
      us
      than
      a
      bag
      of
      chips
      and
      a
      pop.
     
     
      Supper
      is
      not
      a
      problem,
      we
      always
      manage
      to
     
     
      get
      something
      good
      to
      eat
      even
      if
      it
      is
      not
      until
     
     
      ten
      o'clock
      in
      the
      evening.
     
    

    
     
      Many
      students
      have
      more
      important
      things
     
     
      to
      do
      with
      their
      lives
      than
      sit
      around
      and
      ponder
     
     
      their
      nutritional
      intake,
      as
      |
      realized
      last
      week.
     
     
      Education
      is,
      for
      the
      most
      part,
      the
      top
      priority
     
     
      in
      a
      student's
      life;
      otherwise,
      we
      would
      not
     
     
      spend
      as
      much
      money
      on
      it
      as
      we
      do.
      With
     
     
      everything
      we
      have
      to
      do
      as
      students,
      how
      can
     
     
      we
      take
      time
      out
      for
      minor
      inconveniences
      such
     
     
      as
      eating
      properly?
      As
      long
      as
      we
      have
      so
      much
     
     
      work
      to
      chew
      on,
      nutritious
      eating
      may
      be
      hard
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      to
      swallow.
