The biggest concern I have is that stony brook residents are obligated to have a meal plan, when the food options on campus are already terrible. Every building (I think?) has a kitchen, and buying food from a supermarket is a tiny fraction of the price of buying food on campus, not to mention the fact that you're not forced to spend every single dollar of your budget before the semester ends. I find it exceptionally unfair. If I had the choice, I would live in a kitchen suite, but because Stony Brook housing sucks, I can't. If I had the choice, I would put only a few hundred dollars on my meal plan, and otherwise I would only buy food from off campus, because that's by far the cheaper, healthier, and tastier option. I often bring food (that doesn't always have to be cooked, but I will cook it in the basement if I want!) to college to consume on my own terms, and I find it ridiculous that I still have to pay the several thousand dollars for the food on campus. They like to talk about the whole tax-free thing but the fees that Stony Brook throws at us far outweighs the taxes. I'll take a good home-cooked meal over the shit they sell us any day, but I don't have that option because I'm not a commuter.

I have plenty of problems with your post, but let me counter the most important ones. "The food here isn't that expensive." Wraps cost almost 9$, mozzarella sticks cost over 6$, Yes, you can get a decent deli sandwich under $7.50, but more importantly if you're buying your ingredients in bulk for tens of thousands of students you should be able to have prices lower than your average corner deli. The portions are not always fair, they're just fair for what you like to eat/what you're used to. 

"Considering they have to feed thousands of students every day, the quality of the food is respectable."
A. No, it's not, and B. That's not how logic works. The fact that they feed thousands of students every day should not decrease the food quality, it should increase it because like I say they have the option of buying in incredible bulk.

"So quit complaining. Toughen up. You're not going to starve living on a nice college campus with all the other students whose parents can afford to send them to college."
I normally try to treat every comment with respect. As you've noticed, I've yet to say one bad thing about you, I've merely provided counterpoints to what you've said. However, for this, I'm going to tell you that your comment is extremely ignorant. Not every parent can afford to send their kids to college - that's what loans are for. This isn't about whether or not we're gonna starve because we're obviously not complaining about lack of food, we're complaining about unfair prices and poor quality of food (both in terms of taste and nutrition). So don't tell people to toughen up for fighting against an unfair (BUT MANDATORY) food policy, because some people have to be seriously concerned about the amount of money they spend. So you can leave if you're going to make terrible assumptions about the livelihood of students.
