Since 2011, we've served hundreds of meals.
We work to provide affordable, healthy, and ethical food.
Fed Up - was developed through students feeding students via OPIRG.
Affordable.
Because students are poor enough.
Healthy and Delicious.
Because we deserve nothing less.
Ethical and Sustainable.
Because we care about each other.
Fed Up helps students live well.
We provide food for thought.
Fudging Awesome.

Some common problems for students
8am class. No time for breakfast, didn't pack a lunch, can't afford the food on campus.
5km to the closest grocery store (much further than other university campuses).
Anxiety about climbing debt, makes students feel bad about buying food.
$6 dollars in pocket, exams, you can eat a tiny bit from the Guernsey Market, or get 3 cups of coffee to keep you awake.
