Students Risk Health by Eating Cheap Stuff at College
The study examined the eating habits of 800 University students in Brisbane, Australia whose diet primarily included energy-dense foods and pre-packed meals like noodles.
"There seems to be an acceptance out there that getting by on less nutritious food is a typical part of being a university student,'' lead researcher Danielle Gallegos told the New York Daily News. "But a diet of baked beans and instant noodles is not good enough when health and academic results are at stake."
The study also said that 6% of students experienced food insecurity, while many admitted they were repeatedly hungry. “Two thirds of the food-insecure students in our study ate less than two servings of fruit per week and 4 percent had no fruit at all,” Gallegos said. It appears that students were more concerned over university fees, accommodations and other bills than eating properly.
