LBCC has many underrepresented groups and associations, but it lacks any inclusivity regarding its array of food and snack options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many students with food limitations, such as Celiac disease, who are not able to eat foods with gluten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
LBCC is in a drought of options for those who have dietary restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the LAC location is a lot more considerate towards students with these special dietary restrictions, the TTC campus fails to provide snacks other than anything that caters to students with common eating habits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not all students want a $4 Starbucks coffee or Celsius, so other options should be present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There needs to be multiple options for students to include those with allergies and dietary restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s unfair to assume that all LBCC students have the same eating habits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only are students limited in choices, but some students are generally restricted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of the shelved goods are not safe for students who have serious allergies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gluten and peanuts are present on both campuses, especially on LAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With no regard for these individuals with these allergies, some students are unable to buy food from LBCC throughout the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Improvements can be made to the lack of healthy and allergy-safe food options at the LAC location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students deserve to be able to purchase snacks and food without the worry of not being able to eat what is on the shelves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping these snacks separated for students who have serious allergies, as well as students who want healthier alternatives, is a needed precaution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having aisles catered to those who have specific dietary restrictions would solve this issue as an addition to the student store and vending machines. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
