Harvard Students: Nutrition Is...Dumb

Known over the world for their insight and intelligence, Harvard students got the chance to wow one another when HUDS armed them with a blank white board, a vague prompt—“Nutrition is...”—and a dry erase marker. True to form, all sorts of originality exploded into print. In some cases, they exploded a little too much—the board in Cabot had to be removed due to vandalism. Knowing that die-hard Quadlings take nutrition to the extreme, FM set out to see what other houses had to say.
