The only problem with that layout is, as some people mentioned above, people enjoy fattier or unhealthier food are often a bigger source of profit for restaurants then other groups, and even with this new menu, no matter how many health food items are on the menu, the unhealthy eaters will just stick with the unhealthy food choices that remain. Like, if someone who doesnt care about nutrition sees a new menu with five fruit dishes, 3 multi-grain dishes, and only one steak dish, they'll go for the steak. It's a better idea to use healthier ingredients in the food because since someone will eat the food anyways, at least it can be healthier than normal. Like, put white meat instead of dark in chicken, or etc.Ticia wrote:
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?
If you happened to know what the first lady was up to in the US and thought Tica lived in the US, then that's hardly "throwing shit on the walls". derpMekstizzle wrote:

Well she was talking about guidelines from some thing called the 'DGS' and how she was supposed to follow them. What the hell did you think the arbitrary acronym of DGS was, and how would you know anything about how or even if these would be enforced. Making stupid assumptions gets everyone nowhere, slowly.DBBrinson1 wrote:

Damnit. They probably will. Er... are you allowed to not tell people what's in their food, or cut corners? Like say "chicken" without saying "white meat"? You probably have to list the ingredients somewhere, but maybe can you do it in a place they won't see?Trotskygrad wrote:

until restaurants are required to show what is in their meals just like the fast food places are these "agencies" and their "guidelines" can go get fucked
I don't really have anything constructive to add to the debate.
I can definitely support that.11 Bravo wrote:

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?

Jamie oliver didn't personally cook at schools nationwide... He started a healthy school dinners initiative so all the half decent food and all fizzy drinks got removed. Hence having to go to the chippy/takeaway/breakfast shop...Cybargs wrote:

My fear is that this will become mandatory pretty soon. When they banned smoking from closed places they first started with the guidelines soon after it was the restrictions. From what the restaurants association is saying before the end of next year they'll implement this shit.FEOS wrote:

No laws can force anyone to eat healthy or reasonably so all this is just for show and to harm our line of work since people will just eat at home instead.

But to tell you the truth with the obesity numbers in the US I'm surprised over there fattening foods haven't become smuggling goods yet.
We don't have UHC so trying to force people to eat certain foods or exercise a certain amount wouldn't have a leg to stand on. They have nothing they could use to justify such privacy invasion.Ticia wrote:

Restaurants shouldn't have to do this, it should be done through health advertising and taxation.
If people are still too stupid or greedy to understand then bad luck for them.
