I worked at the University of Miami cancer-research clinic on the medical campus for a few years. At one point they changed management of the cafeteria. The new management was using a sulfate powder to prevent the browning of lettuce in their salads. Not only did I get an asthma attack, but the new manager lied about it when I asked about it, knowing exactly why I’d get an asthma attack within a few minutes of eating a salad. And the cafeteria also provided meals to the inpatients staying overnight for their chemo treatments! It took several weeks for my loud objections and complaints to finally get an acknowledgement of the practice and get it stopped. I never could persuade them to stop trying to feed those poor patients meals like spaghetti or fried fish, which none of them could stand to smell, let alone eat.
A neighborhood dog came by my school cafeteria one day, so we fed him the hot lunch on the disposable aluminum tray. He ate the food, and then he ate the tray. I don’t know what happened after.

Red, is that cafeteria food, or are you happy to see Rover?

Food from our cafeteria was never so good that it was worth biringing home. I can’t believe we paid for it.

what schools did you guys go to. I felt like my school lunches were just fine (it doesn’t hurt that I’m a big fat guy)

Rover could call Satchel (from Get Fuzzy) and play “Food, not Food!”
