TUCSON, Ariz. – So the journey ends.
The impending end of the semester – and my collegiate career – means the end of this blog on where to eat healthy on campus.
I hope the blog will continue to be visited by future UA students looking for a green place to eat on campus.
I’m happy with the work that I’ve done, navigating through the healthy options at the UA while taking a detour to discuss stadium food, among other things.
For those of you late to this blog, below is a one-sentence summary link of all the blogs I’ve done:
Introduction – What is eating green?
Many celebs, common folks flock to M Café for microbiotic eating in LA
Cellar Restaurant to undergo health-related renovations
Newly-opened Core offers variety of salads on campus
IQ Fresh: a healthier alternative in the Union
Staples Center not all that healthy
Verizon Center not much better
Pro arenas starting to provide healthier alternatives once you get past the junk
Oy Vey Café offers a vegetarian menu in a family atmosphere
How to be a vegetarian at the UA
Eating green easier for Jews during Passover
I hope you enjoyed reading the blog as much as I did writing it.
My final reflections are that in the four years I’ve been a Wildcat, the student unions have made great strides in becoming healthier. When I made my so-called recruiting visit back in the spring of 2004, IQ Fresh wasn’t even around and you pretty much needed to order a salad that had been sitting out for who knows long to eat healthy.
But with students putting more and more emphasis on living a healthy lifestyle, Union operators such as David Galbraith have taken notice and given them what they want.
I anticipate a similar amount of growth in the next four years to the point that not eating healthy on campus will be a personal choice.
Hopefully that means fewer and fewer students will spend their collegiate careers as Panda Express-gulping carnivores like me.
