3. An Instagram account run by a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) has gone viral for posting images of inedible meals at the Cafe at the Hive dining hall on campus.

Both SCAD and their service supplier Bon Appetit have released statements saying their protocols "exceed local and national requirements." (WSAV-TV)
