Thursday 5 February 21, 1974 Food Committee Wants YOU by Liz Whitfield Are you tired of eating the same old food fixed the same old way in the cafeteria? Do you miss the zesty cream of wheat that Mom used to make? Do you have any ideas or suggestions that would make the dining room and the food that we eat there three times a day a more pleasant and digestible experience? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, then perhaps you would be interested in attending the regular meeting of the Guilford College Food Committee held every Wed nesday evening at 6:00 p.m. in the little dining room. Though somewhat inactive in recent semesters, the newly revitalized Food Committee, has already begun to work on problems they know exist, in conjunction with Steve Mar tini, the cafeteria manager employed by Saga Food Service, and Jim Newlin of the Business Office. The two main goals of the committee are first to get a Vegetables, Unite! Help Needed Preparing Meals by the Vegetarian Cooks Vegetarians, where are you? Who are you? Are you healthy? Do you eat well? Would you like to eat better? For the past month, we, the vegetarian cooks, have been preparing lunches, as well as dinners. The food is being served during the regular meal hours. If you haven't already located it, the vegetarian meal is served at the rear wall in the west end of ' ~ dining hall. • here are presently four people doing the cooking. This appears to be working out well for the number of meals we prepare, but cooking is not the only aspect of preparing food. We need your help. We must learn to plan and budget our meals better. In order to do this, we need to know who we are cooking for, and how often you eat our meals. We need suggestions on what could be improved and how. We need people to type up recipe cards. We need more John Wilson before the bleed-in direct line of communication open to students so that they will know what the students want and can better serve them. Already, there is a suggestion box located in the middle section of the cafeteria for that purpose. Students are invited to make their ideas and/or gripes known to Steve by that method, or by talking with him personally. Also the committee is planning to take a survey periodically through out the semester in order to get a better idea of student opinion as a whole. Saga Food Service will be taking a poll soon also, similar to the one given last semester, which asked questions concerning the different areas of the food service; food preparation, personnel, sanitation, etc. The second goal of the food committee is to monitor the quality control. The food service for each day of the week will be under the careful scrutiny of an individual member of the Food Commit tee, and all commentary made by the individuals will be recipes. We need one person at every meal to count and take the names of everyone wh eats the vegetarian dish. We need help! We know we could be doing a better job. We are trying to improve all the time. None of us are professional cooks, and we all have a lot to learn. You must realize that we, too, are limited in the amount of time we can devote to this program. Unless we get substantial support from the people we feed, we will be unable to improve our present standard. We would like to remind those vegetarians who will be at Guilford next fall that there is no guarantee that you will be fed (properly) -- so it's time to begin making plans for next year. If you are a vegetarian, or eat the vegetarian meals, come to a meeting next Tuesday, February 26, at 5 p.m. in the west end of the cafeteria. This will be an opportunity for you to help yourselves. photo by Fcnskc GUILFORDIAN considered at the weekly meetings. Members of the food committee include Tom Loveless, Carole Matthews, Leslie Schworm, Janet Wag gener, Doug Neill, Liz Whitfield, Burns Perrin, and Guy Dietrich. Leslie Schworm, chair person of the group, has this to say about the probable effectiveness of the commit tee; "Steve Martini seems very willing to work with us and I think that we can really improve the food service if we evaluate the food fairly and voice our opinion to Saga." As was pointed out in the last meeting, however, coo peration is required of students, also. Steve Martini cited the tremendous waste of food by students and food being taken from the cafeteria as problems which students themselves could rectify. He would also like to see a better attitude toward the employees of the cafeteria which would include students taking their own trays to the back when they are finished eating. Big Mac: Truth in Ads ? Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal (D-NY) has introduced legis lation that would effectively ban the use of misleading product brand names. Rosenthal introduced the bill because, he claims, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has "refused to crack down" on misleading brand names and advertising. As particular offenders, he cited McDonald's Quarter Pounder, Hi-C fruit juices. Wonder Bread and the brand names Ultra Brite, Compoz, 5-Day Deodorant Pads, Sleep-Eze, and No-Doz. The FTC recently rejected Rosenthal's complaint that McDonald's was guilty of false advertising. "Despite the fact that US Department of Agriculture tests revealed that the average weight of the Quarter Pounders was far below the required four ounces," he said, "the FTC ruled that no false advertising was involved. Their reason ing, which I found faulty, was that cooked beef products such as this are traditionally and uniformly sold on the basis of their precooked weight. McDonald's is now adverti sing that they "start out with a quarter pound of beef."
