Lose your tray and lose some weight
Friday, February 1st, 2008University removes food trays from cafeterias and food waste drops 30-50%.
Students ran a test last semester showing that on two days when trays weren’t offered, food and beverage waste dropped between 30 and 50 percent, according to Kathy Woughter, vice president for student affairs at Alfred. That amounts to about 1,000 pounds of solid waste and 112 gallons of liquid waste saved on a weekly basis, according to the college.
I wonder how this might apply to dieting and weight loss. For example, if you stopped picking up a tray, would it help you to eat less?
I think this idea ought to be picked up in high schools.
