Food waste on campuses is a huge problem. The National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) reported in 2022 that they produce 22 million pounds of food waste every year. Most often, there’s just too much food, so colleges and universities are coming up with programs to reduce the amount of waste.
The same thing was happening at this person’s university, but he came up with a plan to use his uneaten meals for a good cause. The user u/RotomRoomba shared a story about how he tricked the system at a fancy university to get meals for the underprivileged. Read on to find out how his plan unfolded and how the faculty members and fellow students reacted when they saw over 120 people in the university dining hall.
