Harvard Dining Halls Still in Flux?

I found a story from a student at Harvard talking about the issue of displaying nutritional data on everything served. He provides a fair critique of the process of removing the information - that it should have involved students more prominently. But I thought that this section was puzzling:

To be fair, the committee did invite students to contact committee members, but there should have been a more proactive outreach campaign in order to facilitate student interaction. College students ought to be provided with as much information regarding health matters as possible. Therefore, maximizing the dissemination of information ought to be made the highest priority. (emphasis mine)

After reading through a couple of times, I decided that the author is talking about how students should be brought in early to discuss any kinds of campus health issues. He was thinking globally in this paragraph. But the italicized part reflects the uniqueness of the situation here: The issue being discussed with respect to nutritional data is precisely whether students should be "provided with as much information regarding health matters as possible." Students with eating disorders can be harmed by information.

Maybe more information is better. How about posting a sign next to every piece of nutritional data that talks about the perils of eating disorders? That's extra information that students need. Is the dining hall the place to get it? And if not, is the dining hall the place to get calorie counts?

• Data could be harmful to some
• Vote: Should Harvard display the nutritional data?
