Food Quantity

IF YOU THOUGHT THAT WE WERE DONE, THEN THINK AGAIN...
Food is an issue in any learning institution, and it's not different here at Nyeri KMTC. A balance diet? I'm not so sure about that, but lunch is quite "balanced". For now I don't want to dwell so much on the quality and stuff, I want to talk about the Quantity aspect of it all.

First I don't know where all that food that remains after serving us little food goes. I heard rumours that we are served little food, so that the workers can also have something to eat. Seriously speaking, I don't want to sound unconcerned here, but if the college has workers to feed, must we-the students-suffer for their upkeep in this institution?

My real concern however goes out to us girls, the servers think that since you are feminine your share has to be reduced. What? I'm not on diet, neither am I having plans of being a model. I'm an African Queen, and that tells it all.

The other day I was served with a slice of Ugali. Because I was hungry, I tried to negotiate for more. The woman who was serving (I wish I knew her name), took about thirty seconds to make up her mind. And when she did...you won't believe what she added. It was soooo little, I would quickly compare it to that which a mother squeezes before giving it to an infant. The one that an ant can easily carry uphill.

Anyway, to cut the long story short, food serving (by that I mean the quantity) should improve. If someone demands for more, then it should be added. I have seen huge amounts of leftovers of lunch being served at supper time (especially rice), and the remains of supper's Ugali just sitting in those sufurias idley early in the morning. Why then should they "NYENJA" us, and then remain with lots of it to take to I don't know where? Is it recycled? Is that why yesternight's supper kinda had some rotteness in it?
