However, a university in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region is trying to put a stop to this trend on its campus. On Nov 1, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages banned food delivery services and disposable food boxes, both to its campus and dormitories. The ban immediately received fierce criticism from the university’s students, as well as inter users. Some plained that the ban made campus canteens very crowded. “There are not enough seats in the canteen, which forces us to eat standing up or squatting,” a student in the university surnamed Tan told Guangxi Television. The crowded canteens also mean that extra time is spent dining, which could have been used to nap during the lunch break. Some even plained that the canteen only provides a few dishes, most of which don’t taste so great. Su Junlv, from the university’s student affairs office, explained that the ban was carried out because offcampus food posed safety risks for students. It’s believed that takeaway food had created a serious garbage problem, as there were often a large number of used food boxes found in campus garbage cans after students had finished their meals. According to Su, the ban was also brought in to help students develop a healthy lifestyle. “While food delivery services bring convenience, they let students form some lazy habits,” Su told Xinhua. “They spend a whole day in the dorm playing video games, watching TV soap operas and ordering food online.” However, in the eyes of Liu Junhai, a professor at Renmin University of China, there are other approaches that universities could take to improve their students’ meal times. “Universities should explore how to improve the dining experience in the canteens, such as the queuing and variety of dishes,” he told Xinhua. 28.
