Tomorrow is the World Food Day so today I received this letter of guidelines from the DGS that restaurants are supposed to try to follow in an effort to prevent obesity and heart diseases.

Here are some of the new rules:
-Smaller portions
-Less salt and sugar used in cooking
-Less fried food
-Waiters must recommend soup as a starter
-Desserts should be in less number and fresh fruit should appear before sweets on the Menu
-There should be more main courses of poultry meat than of pork or beef
-Water has to be the first drink on the Menu and the offer of soft drinks must be more limited
-No salt and pepper shakers on the table.

In my place we serve pretty healthy choices already since our cuisine is mainly mediterranean but… is it fair to ask restaurants to educate people on their diet?
I must admit healthier looking people are easier on the eyes but they also spend far less than the fatties, so like every other restaurant if my main interest is a profitable business shouldn't we just offer it all and let the customer be free to decide?

Giving restaurants recommendations is fine.

Coercing them into strict guidelines concerning diet is nanny statish.

There are a few regulations I support the imposition of like banning trans fats, but aside from that, I think owners should be free to make their own choices.

it just pisses me off that families are eating junk food all day long but we're the ones fattening the country with our crème brûlée.

Well, it's like the insanity of forcing stricter emission standards on cars but letting power companies pollute to their hearts' desires.

Regulators often miss the forest for the trees.

I think it's a pretty gross way to create a dish.  I suppose you could say it violates animal rights, but then again, what we do to cows and chickens is pretty gross too.

Basically, my stance on it is that it should be legal to serve, but I wouldn't recommend eating it.

I hate it whenever some group forces food standards on us. Reminds me of how they removed all the soda machines from my High school and we could only buy Yoo-hoo's and these 100% juice things from Snapple. Later they removed the Yoo-hoo's since chocolate is evil.

I can't break past 150 pounds if I try. Why should I be denied the food and drinks I like because some fat asses can't control themselves or diet?

What the hell is the DGS

In what way are restaurants 'supposed' to follow these guidelines?

Dude, you must be short.  I'm really skinny but I'm still 185.  Granted, I am 6'3".

I can see where you're coming from, but I think public schools are a little different.  Because they're tax funded, they should be health oriented.  It's not the same as a private business.

This is a shot across the bow.  You can change your menu. Or have it dictated.  Well, not really as the D's are about to lose the super majority.  What a bunch of dick bags.  All this after the first lady grabs a huge fucking cheeseburger with her daughter.  Didn't the Bamster take Putin for one too?  Fucking hypocrites. Side note: I don't think I've ever tried Mediterranean food....
I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something.  - Rodney Booker, Job Fair attendee.

I agree with macbeth. They did this at my school and we had to spend our entire dinner walking the long way around and them climb over a fence just to get a decent dinner.

Fuck jamie oliver.

This.

As for the guidelines, I'd say it's cute that someone has an opinion on what I should do with my business...but I know my clientele and what they will tolerate. I wouldn't put up with some of that crap as a customer, nor would I put up with much/any of it as an owner.
