re: Saints are ranked 30th in NFL in Food Service/Nutrition by players

I’m wandering if it’s the players are comparing the healthy food the Saints are serving to the comfort food they can get at a million places w/I driving distance of the saints complex.

This is the only thing I could find from a photo gallery of the weight room renovation 3 years ago. I know there's only 15 players on an NBA team, but this seems kind of small because I'd expect the staff to eat there too, no?

I would expect the "main" dining facility to be much bigger than this so this can't be it. And the facility I'm talking about sharing is just the dining hall because they are both on the same campus. I don't think there'd be anything negative about sharing a dining hall between the teams.

Utah Jazz apparently have an on-site Executive chef that mans a full-time kitchen and a team of nutritionists that supply meals for the team that supposedly people there say rivals any fine dining restaurant in Salt Lake.
Ditto for the Toronto Raptors. I saw a video clip of a tour of their in-house team restaurant last year. Also, the food they serve is all organic. The players can also have a meal prepared to take home with them.
If the Pels do not have top notch nutritionists and chefs serving organic food, then they are big time missing the boat in today's competitive sports.
You are what you eat.
Or from the computer world: garbage in garbage out.

Yeah, I would assume its safe to think that the owner of both teams is listed on both teams as owner
Well whatever they are feeding them IS NOT WORKING!

That looks like someone’s office that got converted to a break room.

I see why our players always order take out now. I know they always rent the food trucks too.

Man I so tired of the excuses these are grown men who make millions they need to be responsible for taking care of there bodies. And let's be real 2 players are the cause of most of the games missed to injuries. The role players injuries are just normal wear and tear of a NBA season every team goes through that. But what they don't go through is having there 2 best players each miss over 2 months apiece. If Zion doesn't take proper care of himself it want matter what your training staff does unless there Jesus.

Pigeon Catering
I worked at a place that had them cater for us in the evenings... The food seemed like leftovers.. Not fresh.. Probably after the Saints picked over it.. And expensive.

It seems the issue is that the Saints don't provide 3 regular meals a day. From the article:
"The most common concern for Saints players is the cafeteria, as they are only one of three teams in the NFL that do not provide three meals per day to their players, and the food is rated as the 4th worst in the NFL.
Quality of food: Ranked 29th?
One of three teams that do not provide dinner; they offer a late lunch at 3pm when they practice at 12."
The implication could be the org saying, "Guys, you're in New Orleans. Get dinner at any number of well renowned restaurants." However, this seems like an easy fix by providing supper and upping the food quality being offered.

If Pigeon is the food vendor it’s garbage. They are the food server for my kids school and it’s terrible. My kids won’t eat pigeons cafeteria food and they eat anything.
