Under fire are what Director of Residential Dining David McDonald calls the 3 S's: salt, sugar and saturated fat. All of these elements are over-represented in most American diets, and they are contributing to a growing obesity epidemic.

The shift began earlier this semester and has been a gradual progression. So far, McDonald said he has heard no complaints.
