Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will implement a new policy requiring all students to purchase a meal plan for on-campus dining. The plan includes 10 meals per week and costs $1,500 per semester. The administration believes this will ensure students have access to nutritious meals and reduce food insecurity on campus.

Woman: Did you see the email about the mandatory meal plan? I think it's a terrible idea.
Man: Really? I thought it was meant to help students eat better.
Woman: But it's too expensive! Many of us already cook at home to save money. I can't afford an extra $1,500, and I know others who are in the same boat.
Man: That's true. But the announcement says it reduces food insecurity.
Woman: Actually, it forces everyone to pay, even those who don't need it. It would be better to offer optional plans or increase financial aid. Plus, 10 meals a week is not enough for a full meal plan, so we'd still need to buy groceries. It's not practical.
