Caleb Torres lost seven pounds his freshman year of college and not because he didnt like the food in the dining hall. A first-generation college student, barely covering tuition, Torres ran out of grocery money halfway through the year and began skipping meals as a result. Hed stretch a can of SpaghettiOs over an entire day. Or hed scout George Washington University campus for events that promised free lunch or snacks. Torres told no one what he was going through, least of all his single mom. "She had enough things to worry about," he said... Now a senior and living off-campus, in a housing situation that supplies most of his meals,

I wonder how much $$$ poor little Caleb Torres spent on beer and liquor while he was “starving”.
All they have to do, is move to Venezuela, and they will have too much to eat. That is why the stores are empty.
Well Caleb, it’s called Life. Get used to it snowflake.
The sad part is that the young people now aren’t ever going to get the satisfaction of pulling themselves up by the bootstraps and say I Did It! I made this HAPPEN!!
. . . and he has the latest and greatest smartphone.
I worked in the kitchen to pay for my meals
He should be a little inventive and get a part time job at a restaurant.
I haven't had that for a long time! Always loved it, or with cream of chicken soup. Even mom made that a few times a month, and we were pretty 'comfortable'. Thanks for the reminder I'll make some soon..
We’re you my roomate at Florida?
so they are too dumb to problemsolve how to feed themselves?
And there all FAT. Right?
Peanut butter and whatever
That’s why I encouraged my kids to go the meal ticket route.
No calories in Tide pods.
Don’t forget to throw in some extra money for term papers, those are like $400 on line. Hey! They don’t write themselves ya know
On a spoon til you lick it dry! HAHAHA!
If they have enough money to buy Tide Pods, they have enough to eat. Tide is the most expensive detergent out there and their Pods are even more costly than their liquid. Stupid kids don’t know that condoms go on their ding a lings, not their noses. It’s no wonder they can’t figure out how to feed themselves.
I walked around University of Tampa. Believe me, there aint no food problem. Certain members of certain communities have trouble fitting to many of the doors. I would have a lot more sympathy for people not having enough to eat if they could fit in my car.
Ramen noodles. Put in extra water if you are really hungry.
I did the dining hall the first year of my professional program, then went the cheaper route of an old, two burner hotplate and a toaster oven to cook better and cheaper meals in the dorm.
