Simpson Dining: The Underground Connections

I like to think of the dining hall as a small community that ties the buildings around Simpson to come together. Each meal you have is a new experience and new person to eat with. Along with numerous combinations of meal options its always a pleasant surprise of what lunch will be like. Today's story begins with my friend Claire, my vegetarian friend. Since Claire spends most of her time at the salad bar for her lunch and dinner she has acquired friendship with the women who work at this section. This woman's name is Veronica according to Claire's input in my research for this draft. Claire's love for healthy eating decisions overcomes her everytime she grabs a plate, something that both I and Veronica admire. A few days ago, as a good friend Veronica decided to ask Claire what she liked in particular. Claire, blown away that the dining hall service would bother to ask her what she liked when they were serving thousands of others stumbled through her favorite options, "cooked broccoli", she stated in disbelief. Within the next few days Veronica had supplied Claire with a full plate of cooked broccoli and has continued to serve her this favorite dish every two days. As I sat down with Claire at todays lunch viewing this green plate I realized how much one persons care can change the world. Regardless of how well the person is known its important to reach out and make an effort to make the world a better place, one plate of cooked broccoli at a time.
