FOOD CHOCIES
COTC, there are a variety of
food choices in the cafeteria.
Among these choices are more
fatty foods that are lower
priced than the healthier
choices. In the cafeteria, you
can usually get a whole meal
including a soft drink for a
little over five dollars, which is
a reasonable price but not as
healthy.
Checking out the healthier
choices such as the salad bar,
the fresh cold sandwiches,
yogurt and fruit immediately
you can quickly spend more
than you want on one meal.

fruit and grain food groups but some extra choices can be
made from milk, yogurt, cheese and/or alternatives, the
lean meat and poultry, fish, eggs and/or alternative group,
and including less often, unsaturated fats, oils, and
spreads
