Meet Ya in the Caf
LEIGH (POSTING ON THE GUESTBOOK) WRITES: I was just wondering if you had any tips for college students who have to eat in the cafeteria.
DEAR LEIGH: My Number One Tip: DON'T DO IIIIIITTTT!
Just kidding.
Your question had me reminscing about my days in the caf. This was an old-style caf, basically a hot food line and some poor excuse for a salad bar (mostly used as a bunker during food fights, as it separated one half of the cavernous room from the other). The hot food was the cliche slop--UFOs (Unidentified Fried Objects), vats of viscous stuff that could just as well be used as building material, pitifully anemic "green" beans that were so drained of color that they resembled penne pasta.
You get my drift.
I don't remember actually eating anything there except on a dare (I would eat just about anything on a dare). My friends and I would take a lap through the line, just to look. We might point and ask, "What IS this stuff?"--a question that was usually meant with a very articulate, "I dunno." We'd look at each other, and say, way too loudly: PIZZA! (Imagine the scene from Animal House, when Peter Rigert and John Belushi look at each other and yell "ROAD TRIP!).
Sorry. I'm not being helpful.
But to be TRULY helpful, I need to know what your caf is like. The last college cafeteria I went to was Stanford's back in 97 or 98. They had all these stations--fusion, Italian, barbecue. Their salad bar was amazing. They had low-fat brownies.
I wanted to enroll on the spot.
But hey, that was Stanford. That was California. I will imagine that since you are asking for help, you aren't living in FFG nirvana. So I will take my best shot:
--Do a walk through. My friends and I were on the right track with this one. Any time you're faced with a buffet (even if it's just appetizers), do a dry run first. Scope out the scene. That will allow you to make a plan. When you DON'T have a plan, you may put stuff on your tray not knowing there's a better choice down the line. And then ... there's no going back without pissing off the Lunch Lady (and you know how risky that is).
--Come up with a plan. Try to find some source of protein that is a)not plastered with sauce or cheese; and b)not fried. Skip casseroles or anything that looks like it might have Cream of Mushroom Soup in it (for obvious reasons). You need some protein to keep that feeling of fullness longer. Look for the most recognizable foods: the closer a food is to its natural state, the more likely it is not to make you fat or sick. (Think about it; it's true.) Try to get at least one recognizable green vegetable. Go for a plain baked potato if they've got them. All a baked potato needs is a little salt, really, and it's pretty yummy.
--Fill in the blanks with salad! I would try to fill more than half my plate with salad--and I mean lettuce and veggies, NOT croutons, cheese, bacon bits ... all that stuff that negates the purpose. Salad offers the illusion that you're eating a lot when you're not eating a lot of calories. (We love that.) Now, I know people who do not like salad, to the point that they won't eat it at all. All I can say is ... I didn't like salad either, until it was INO to eat an entire meal of white food. You CAN reform your tastebuds--I did, completely. The only vegetables I would eat before, say, age 25 were corn and potatoes--and both had to be drenched in butter. Not any more.
--And while we're on the subject of it: Whip out that INO. Maybe your problem is NOT that you don't have healthy options, but that you just can't resist the junk. That's where INO comes in. Restrict yourself to only certain "stations" at your caf where you know you can get healthy food. Or use INO to keep you out of the areas where you know you are doomed (Italian Land, for me ... all that saucy pasta and pizza and other cheesy, starchy stuff).
--Make sure you treat yourself. This does NOT contradict what I just said. In fact, It's Not an Option NOT to treat yourself. You can't become an FFG by going cold turkey. Set aside one dinner or lunch or whatever a week to do it up. And hey, if your caf food sucks, don't waste your treat night on it. Save it for when you go out and eat some REAL food.
Those are my thoughts right now. I hope they help. Now, I'm going to go see if Netflix has Animal House. I'm hungry for a food fight.

[b]Description[/b]
Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic Viagra is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
