If I could change one thing...
I would have to, without hesitation or doubt, say that one of the worst things about Henry Clay is the lack of options at lunch. It's either sub-standard, barely edible food from the normal line or pizza. Pizza? Wait, isn't pizza the characteristic "oh boy, they're serving 'X' today in the lunch line" food that everyone likes? Of course. The first day, of Henry Clay, I loaded two pieces into my hand, paid the oh-so-modest price of 2 dollars a slice, and ate it ecstatically. Day 14? Oh boy, pizza again! Yet, here I am, my third year of pizza every day, and while it's still good enough to eat it's also greasy and much worse than when you buy Domino's outside of the cafeteria. Why? Well, it's kind of a "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you" scenario; the pizza doesn't have to be as well made as it usually is, just marginally better than the regular lunches. This means that the chumps at Domino's don't have to make brilliant, up-to-par pizzas for us, they just have to slap together in their kitchen anything that tastes better than lunches in the normal line, which needless to say gives some room for shirking in quality. Even if the pizza was better, it's still only one meal to eat, and while it's easy to argue that we're being "picky" by not eating food from the normal line, it's even easier to argue that schools are not providing kids with the lunches they should. I wouldn't mind paying as much as I do for pizza for a meal of similar quality but not pizza.
