So Fat...

Let's talk about something I am extremely passionate about: food. That's right: my inner fat girl is writing this article. I have no shame in my game: don't let the small frame fool you. Mama can put away some food...

I would like for it to be known that large universities, especially in the Big Ten (Which now has twelve teams... How'd they work that one out? And the Big Twelve only has ten teams... Madness, I tell you...), may single handedly be responsible for massive amounts of gluttony in college students. And you know what? I'm okay with that. 

For those of you who haven't experienced these pleasures, let me break it down for you. At Michigan State, on-campus students who live in the dorms get an unlimited meal plan that essentially allows you to eat at any and every dorm cafeteria on campus between the hours of 7am and midnight, up 100 times per week, every week. That's right, little piggies. All-you-can-eat without leaving the comfort of your home.

Craving sushi? Come to Brody. Need grilled salmon? Get thyself to Snyder-Phillips. Quesadilla craving? Case caf is the place for you. And the menu changes every day: the possibilities are quite literally endless.

And if that wasn't enough fat for you, MSU created this wonderful thing called Combo-X-Change.You see, if you live on campus but don't want to eat in the Caf, you can go to Sparty's, Union Pizzeria, or Serrano's, swipe your card, and get a meal. Oh yes: believe it.

Instead of paying for those tacos with a side of beans and rice and that 22oz lemonade at Serrano's, swipe your card and its yours. That buffalo chicken pizza, Bosco stick and Pepsi calling your name at the pizzeria? Answer the call. Just gotta have that bagel, string cheese stick and cranberry Everfresh from Sparty's? Get it. What a wallet saver.

And even if you don't live on campus, you can still get in on this fatty goodness. They offer off-campus meal plans for those who aren't in the dorms. You can also get Spartan Cash, which is kind of like turning your ID into a debit card. Just swipe and go into the caf or other eateries and you too can be living the dream.

The best part? That's not even all the options. Thats right you little crumb-snatchers: the selections only get better, especially after the Caf closes at midnight. However, we will talk about this at another time, for I can see that you have destroyed your pants with sheer excitement from all this talk of food. So go throw those soiled knickers out, take a shower, and dream of chicken salad sandwiches, sushi, and rice krispy treats. Bon Appetit...
