We've Made A Decision...

Today our group came to the conclusion that we are going to go with our idea involving Akahi food waste. It's been a pressing issue for quite awhile, and although this issue has been brought up to the students, waste remains.
Our group has concluded that this mainly results from the fact that although students completely understand  that it's a BUFFET line and that they may always go up for seconds, thirds, even fourths if they wanted, laze combined with impatience (Have you seen the lines?????) prevents them from taking the appropriate portions of food.
We all know about and see the little colored tags above each food item that gives nutrition facts on what's being served. It also gives portion sizes. Unfortunately, these serving sizes are weighed in ounces, and honestly, what kid reads 5oz and knows how much 5 oz of rice is!?
Therefore, we must not only change the tags, but we must also find the appropriate serving utensils to give the correct portions. We can also try and get help from the akahi workers and student government on monitoring how much each student takes. We should also try to find a way to divert a separate line for seconds so that people who have already gotten firsts won't have to stand in the same line as the kids who have not eaten yet.

All in all, we're quite excited to see how all of this falls through :)

If we could make the tags easier to understand, that'd be a great first step!
