are too expensive, there are limited food places, and it does not cater to all
dietary needs.

After outlining, I realized I need to fix up my conclusion to make sure it summarizes my thesis. I also need to add a counterargument and make sure that all of my examples and points relate back to my thesis. Lastly, I need to make sure I summarize each paragraph with a good sentence or two to wrap up each paragraph.
