Signs like this one have been popping up all over campus. This one was at the entrance of the Ivy Room in Willard Straight Hall. I also noticed one as you walk into Trillium. There was even a small one on an 8 1/2 X 10 posted on a bulletin board in RPCC. At first I thought it was cool that Cornell was switching '100% Natural Local Beef', also trying to figure out what that specifically meant for how the beef was raised. But then I started wondering if these signs are really all that new, or did I just start noticing them because of all the readings and discussions I've been a part of in DSOC 1200? Anyone know when Cornell made the switch?
We'll have a chance to find out more on our dining hall tour on April 29th. In the meantime, Shana had a link to a Cornell Sun article on her blog about this a few weeks ago: http://cornellsun.com/section/news/content/2010/04/05/university-dining-use-local-beef-promote-food-sustainability
