Unfortunately I do not see Wendell Berry’s list of seven things being very reasonable for most college students. For one a lot of students do not have a suitable kitchen to cook their own meals. This requires us to rely on the microwave for most meals that we want to cook on our own. One thing that we can do however is visit the farmers market or buy fresh fruit and vegetables from the grocery store to balance our diet’s better. Also college students can find people who do have kitchens and have “family dinners” where they take turns cooking meals. My roommates another room on our hall do this and we enjoy it a lot. As far as the gardening goes, this might be possible for people living off campus but even then we are in the biggest city in South Carolina so there is not much space for a garden. This does not seem possible to me but like I said you can still visit the farmers market for fresh produce or even grocery stores to receive what you are not getting from the meal plan meals around campus.
