In the Fall of 2019, both Canyon Wheeler and Callahan Baker transferred to the University of Tennessee and instantly discovered a major problem. The problem we discovered was that UTK lacked healthy food options for students. Following this discovery, we decided to do something about it. We are advocates for students that lack a voice or a choice of their food options on campus. We believe that a student should be given the choice of a healthier option instead of forced into foods that are high in fats and sugars.
College is in large part about getting the grades. However, one thing that is taboo is the performance and mental health of students. Student's food consumption can greatly influence this. As we stated in a feasibility study, "...diet is a large part of a developing brain so when students eat food that is high in sugar and high in fat, they have a tendency to have decreased school performance." We are attempting to make the University of Tennessee better by providing healthier foods at an affordable price. The university has the slogan, "I will give my all for Tennessee today!" We need the University of Tennessee to provide us with healthy foods so we can give our all for Tennessee every day!
