McGill Food Services raises price of Cafe food from “An Arm and a Leg” to just the “Soul of your First-Born.”

On social media sites, posts are circulating detailing the high prices plaguing our local dining establishments. McGill’s Food and Dining Services has recently tried to reassure the student body that students will always have culinary options on the McGill campus, “You can eat shit,” an official spokesman said, “if you can afford it.”

This “shit” likely refers to their recent controversial menu addition, “fresh mold-flavored chicken” at RVC, which has gained criticism for costing just as much as their old-fashioned non-mold-flavoured chicken.
Engineering students have raised further concerns about their ability to procure a firstborn. “I have arms and legs, but a first-born might be a little tricky,” says one McGill student.
Outraged by the poor response, posts have been circulated on Reddit voicing further worries: “Coffee is the only thing getting me through this semester. I was fine when Redpath Cafe raised the price of their classic black coffee by 10 cents, but increasing it by 18 cents is absurd!” Said one Redditor. Another anonymous user made a post claiming “the cost of McGill’s cheapest meal is the same price as a McDonald’s Happy Meal, but let me tell you, the eaters are not nearly as happy.”
New McGill principal, H. Deep Saini, has yet to respond to the fiasco, instead choosing to roll in the dough produced by selling $9 bananas and students’ crushed hopes and dreams of affording a cup of joe. For starving McGill students, McGill has kindly reminded you that we are past the withdrawal-with-refund period of the academic year, so your grieving parents will still be required to pay the rest of your semester’s tuition if you were to succumb to your starvation.
