Complaints About the Food at Oberlin College

I knew even before we had kids that we would be traveling with them early on in their little lives. And, as such a ‘food’ plan was put in place from the get-go. You ate what was on the table. What was on the table varied by season and mood of the cook. You were not allowed to default to chicken nuggets or spaghetti with ketchup. You were never forced to eat something which still didn’t appeal to you after a several tries. Yup, you had to at least try it.

You learn to eat Oma’s liver dumpling soup. Don’t like the dumplings, eat the broth. Don’t like either, wait until the main meal and then pick something. You learned that in almost all cases you could find something that was being offered which you could eat.

Then before you went off to College you learned to cook a number of meals which you liked and which were healthy. That way, after the first year you could manage on your own and not have to eat at the cafeteria. If the food offered was that bad get a can opener, pick a few ingredients and make your own danged dinner. If someone had the nerve to serve a dish called Oma’s liver dumpling Soup and it wasn’t what you expected…skip it…or again…make it yourself. Invite a few friends. Lighten UP for gosh sake.

Honestly, with the viral ability of social media it is best to not make an Arse of yourself. Think before you speak. These ‘children’ look like fools. If your bored and have to much free time…go volunteer at a soup kitchen!
