<p>So I read that House dining halls won't serve hot eggs and bacon on weekdays next year.....who's no longer planning to apply to Harvard? Who's trying to undo their matriculation agreement?</p>
<p>Only cold hard-boiled eggs, you poor lads and lasses.</p>
<p>I don’t think S ate breakfast once in his four years at Harvard. What a waste of Harvard food and our money!</p>
<p>Same with my daughter. The times she got up in time to eat any kind of breakfast could be counted up on one hand. The majority of Harvard kids will not miss the hot breakfasts, because they never saw one to begin with.</p>
<p>makes me cry</p>
<p>Why? I mean I don’t think the budge crisis has hit that hard. Well I guess there goes the rating on Harvard’s housing & dining/dorm life (going down).</p>
<p>The idea is to make cuts where they will have the least negative impact on students and faculty. Those who don’t eat breakfast (and they are a very significant segment of the student population) won’t miss the eggs and bacon. I would think that the majority of those who do eat breakfast eat cereals and milk.</p>
<p>They will still be served in Annenberg, so you have nothing to complain about. Yale already does this.</p>
<p>Choklit, it will be another year before you face this (if at all).
Most of us do not getup in time to indulge in a ‘hot’ breakfast
before rushing off to class. Our days typically start 9:45 AM,
so we can get to class by 10:07 
(during the freshman year)
Guess this year I will have to get up somewhat earlier to account
for not living next to everything in the Yard.</p>
<p>As White rabbit points out you will still get hot breakfast at
Annenberg.</p>
<p>What a shame that a few bad apples have to spoil a good time for everyone by breaking the rules.</p>
<p>James, I’m not quite sure what your logic has to do with hot eggs and bacon. Can you elaborate?</p>
<p>This is not exactly true. I’m too lazy to dig out the email, but Harvard will still have hot breakfast in Annenberg. While there won’t be hot breakfast in the houses, I don’t see this being a problem since 1. classes are closer to Annenberg than any House, so it isn’t a big deal to go to Annenberg then your class, and 2. those who don’t have AM classes won’t be awake anyways to have breakfast.</p>
<p>Also, the brain break budget has increased as a result of this, so there will be more food at midnight. I for one am looking forward to this.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I guess my D is one of the few who regularly eats hot breakfast and will miss it. She says many athletes are upset about the change.</p>
<p>Also, isn’t H showing bad nutrition form by cutting out protein at breakfast and adding more junk food at midnight?</p>
<p>I was thinking that it is not a bad thing that they decided to remove some items that are such high fat (not that I don’t personally love those items).</p>
<p>So, will the houses have oatmeal still?!</p>
<p>I doubt that bacon could be considered nutritious, either in the morning or as brain break. Speaking as the parent of a student who remained underweight throughout four years of college (food is not Harvard’s claim to superiority) I believe more students will eat at brain break than at breakfast.</p>
<p>I read about athletes, Bay; I think a compromise will be reached with at least one House serving hot breakfasts to accommodate them. Harvard is proud of its athletes.</p>
<p>Actually, I wasn’t thinking about bacon, but about scrambled eggs and omelettes, waffles, french toast and oatmeal.</p>
<p>I was thin in college, too, until I started visiting the cafe at the university center at midnight for a smoothie and bagel. I put on 7 pounds in a couple of months. :)</p>
<p>Don`t eat Bakon!</p>
<p>From dining services, the scrambled eggs were only slightly less % fat than the sausages (68% vs 75%) while the french toast (25% fat) sounds like a wonderful option.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For me, the very tempting (for me) high fat options seem best as weekend treats.</p>
<p>except I doubt the cross country team, after an early morning 10 miler, will be glad to see that they can’t go back to their house dining hall and eat bacon and omelettes</p>
