FOOD Choices on Campus by Laura Taylor
2ND
Vending Machines
Ok so I know what your thinking-YIKES
vending machine
food!!! But hey, vending machine
options at Pierce College
are improving. Student Government,
President-Sam Pena-
Rojas, has been working with
Vista Vending to improve what
goes into the machines.
When you think about vending,
it’s just cookies and chips, but
Sam has been in discussions
with them to include healthy
options like protein bars, nongmo
minimally processed, and
other vegan options.
When in a hurry, check out the
vending machines, there might
be an option in there that will
keep you full until after class.

Aladdin Dining
The Aladdin Campus Dining offers food
choices that range from a breakfast burrito
to healthy options like a cobb salad. Students
enjoy the wide array Aladdin offers,
as shown in the “You spoke, we listened”
board displayed in the cafeteria. Aladdin’s operating hours on
both campuses are from 7:30am-2:00pm.
Aladdin also caters most if not all of the events at Pierce College.
For example, for the event called Fright Fest they created a
horrifying buffet display of purple pasta, meat ball eyeballs and
scary pumpkin cookies.
You can’t go wrong with all the choices Aladdin stirs up or any of
the tasty options they provide at most events.
