...Jared Leibowitz Professor Hudson English 101 15 March 2015 Conscious Eating Matters The fast-paced world in which we live makes it easy to forget how important nutrition is to the body. We are constantly on the move: going to work, going to school, hanging out with family and friends, shopping and other activities. Most of the time we are trying to get a quick meal to coincide with our quick lifestyles which makes it seem hard to focus on the aspects of our lives that matter most, like what foods we put into our body. Each and every one of us has a unique body that requires a vast amount of nutrients which many of us are not getting each day. “In a study completed at the University of Illinois it was discovered that many American adults are not getting enough vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, calcium, and iron [in their daily diet]. Americans have a tendency to eat far more saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium than is normal or recommended” (Bushak). Things like fast food, soda, and sugar-based foods are replacing highly nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables in people’s diets. This is why it is important to be conscious of what food you put into your body alongside the benefits of good nutrition. Making sure to eat fruits and vegetables every day is extremely important because they offer lots of beneficial nutrients for our bodies to run properly. According to Webber, “It is recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to average 2 cups of fruit...

...column group to row group and information provided by h% is the direct relationship from row group to column group. (12.) 14-17 year’s old women who eat dried fruit have the weighted count of 120,000 for the last 7 days in Australia. Women aged from 35-49 years old has the weighted count of 726,000 for the last 7 days in Australia. This shows that more women aged from 35-49 years old prefer eating dried fruit compared to women aged between 14 -17 years old because women aged from 35-49 years old needs more vitamin C and iron in their body as their getting old and their bones and nerve system may not be so efficient which makes their bones more fragile and the flow of their inflammatory nerve system not so smooth. Moreover, the women who aged from 35-49 years old has a different taste bud from the women aged from 14-17 years old because they would not prefer eating things which are very sour, sweet and bitter. The women aged 35-49 years old also eats more dried fruit compared to women aged from 14-17 years old because they are more conscious about their weight, so they don’t end up eating and consuming excessive or unwanted stuffs which could lead them to diabetes, cholesterol, high blood pressure and many other type of...

It is this which makes donatos will have a lot of information about diet and feeling that exist within a culture within the employee's information can be used by donatos, to become an opportunity to develop a new product. For example, according to 2003 healthfocus trend reports, 26% of consumers of food are "carb conscious". This suggests that they are eating low-carb diet into their diet habits This methodology can be used to establish the research question of product development. for example: • Whether consumers go on a diet? What kind of diet? • Whether the product can be consumed by the participant’s diet? How can it be? • If in the form of pizza, what kind of diet if it is a pizza? What formulations to be used? • 26% of consumers of food are "carb conscious", what food can be called "carb conscious"? • Does require new technology to make it serve...

...Week 3 Intro to Hospitality Management I read an article on in regard to eating meat “MEAT’S IMPACT” https://www.cspinet.org/nah/pdfs/meatsimpact.pdf And found that the article can potentially impact the restaurant industry if every person that frequents restaurants reads the article, and makes a conscious decision to better their health. The chance of this is likely less than a 2% chance, but if people as a group decide that they wish to benefit from changing their eating habits based on this article then it is likely that there will be a great reduction in the amount of meat that is consumed on a regular basis. The article indicates that there are many adverse effects that occur from the consumption of meat, anywhere from heart attack, cardiovascular disease to stroke, and colon cancer. So in most cases people will initially swear off the meat, but then remember meat is tasty. As with any food that is good to the palette, it is a double edged sword that shows us the product is very desirable, but we just need to remember that moderation is important to maintain a diet that will not end our lives in one way, or another. The article also mention other incentives to reduce the intake of meat such as, the amount of water it takes to produce the product, and the emissions of greenhouse gas caused from the production as well. Now, the last thing people are thinking when they are viewing a menu are things like how much water is required for this...

...other delivery services in that it consists of meal packages worth a whole day. The concept underlying this is that of building a balanced, South Beach Diet-inspired experience, extracted from the sumptuous offerings of the restaurant’s main menu plus additional snacks and dishes suited for the day’s worth of meals. Offerings are enhanced by employing an additional special feature. Distinguished nutritionists come into the restaurant to extend consultancy services to patrons. They may offer general health and diet consultation and assist in custom-building a customer’s delivery package. The restaurant’s main thrust therefore is the provision of an enjoyable and healthy eating experience that factors in utmost conscientiousness in an inviting and comfortable environment. Viéi caters to the health conscious residents of the high profile communities in the Alabang area. Alabang, in the highly progressive city of Muntinlupa, plays home to a collection of continuously developing corporate and commercial districts and a high concentration of upscale residential villages, both large and small. The main restaurant will be situated in a single location serving as the production area with its kitchen, the service area through the dining room and consultation area, and the delivery source point where all orders are placed and released...

...of food intake as in Esmas situation, and secondly, evaluate the correlation if Esma has a low trait of empathy. There has been shown to be three distinct effects on peoples behavior when consuming food among other people. The first one indicates that people usually eat more, when eating in a group (Herman et al, 2003). Research show that individuals eat up to 50% more while eating with others, than eating alone (De Castro & De Castro, 1989). There has also been shown that there is a significant correlation between social facilitation and meal duration (Bell & Pillner, 2003).However, another theory states that individuals have a tendency of mirroring the eating behaviors when eating in presence of other individuals who either eat a lot or little. Findings showed that individuals consume more when eating with individuals with a high consumption level than with individuals with a low consumption level (Howland et al, 2012).The third one is the theory of impression management. This effect is in social psychology best described as a unconscious or conscious goal directed attempt for individuals to shape other peoples perception about the individual. The impression management implies that when eating in the presence of others, who the...

...I came across this article in the U.S.News website titled “McDonald’s Kale Salad Has More Calories Than a Big Mac.” I few things caught my attention the first thing was that it was in Canada, my homeland, a country known for healthy living and eating. I eat kale on a daily bases and know it is a power food. Fresh kale is rich in minerals and vitamins. So how can this fall from grace be possible? On a closer look the things that are added to the salad are what creates its demise. I think it is a tragedy that you can take something so health and destroy it. I would say the article makes a good point by saying “just because you put the word kale in something doesn’t make it a healthy option.” Sadly, that is a true statement there are many foods...

Alternative courses of Action and Final Recommendations 10 Introduction In 1987 three friends came up with a new Australian themed restaurant venture. Over cocktails they all agreed on the name “Outback” and before the first restaurant opened they had a fourth join the team. The first restaurant opened in 1998. The original business plan was for four restaurants, one for each. But the “No Rules, Just Right” service took off with great success. By 2004 they had hundreds of restaurants all over the world. Company-owned restaurants consisted of restaurants owned by partnerships (with the company as the general partner) and joint ventures (with the company as one of the two members.) In 1993 the company decided to expand and diversify its restaurant portfolio to capitalize on the growing popularity of casual dining. This was done mainly through joint venture partnerships. The industry had been growing very strong but that changed in 2004. Due...

...everyday. I eat lunch at Risley almost every week day with my friends. In comparison to my experiences at some of the other dining halls on campus, Risley seems to have a quieter setting. Risley has one serving line, a salad bar, and a fruit/sides bar. There are round tables set up to seat about 4 people. Studies show that when an individual eats with a larger group of people, they are more likely to consume greater amounts of food, especially at a buffet-style dining area (citation). I think the small, round tables at Risley promote smaller lunch gatherings and thus, help cut back on the amount of food wasted. Several people eat alone while doing homework on their laptops. I have noticed that these individuals appear to eat less than those eating with a more social group of friends. There are also often adults getting lunch at Risley, more so than I...

...than organic foods to reach the shelves, plus they come in so much different varieties, it’s hard to say no to buying and consuming them. A good 6% of ingredients in Twinkies™ are made from corn in some way, shape, or form. Even though processed foods are made in different varieties, most of them are very bad for the body. Many American children from 9-19 years of age are very more often obese than any other country. The rate of obesity and processed foods seem to be rising at the same rate in America. It must be purely coincidence, right? In chapter seventeen, Pollan explores eating both locally and at home. He made a polyface egg soufflé, grilled pasteurized chicken, and grilled organic corn. One of the best lines in this entire chapter is when Liz Salatin says that the chicken was more “chickeny’ chicken. Towards the ending chapters Pollan begins to muse on the fact that he will now be more conscious of what he is buying and serving. He makes absolutely sure to say that, although his view of food has changed and he will watch what he eats, Pollan will still eat out and enjoy his food with a renewed vigor. The book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, was an amazingly detailed and eye opening walkthrough of how various items get on your plate. It has been awarded multiple awards such as New York Times bestseller for more than a year- and counting. This informational book is definitely a must read for anyone and everyone.

...lead to giving false hopes to people for the sake of money. It even has come to a point where these companies prioritize “quantity over quality” that even the said advertisements lead to deception. The emerging world of advertising is inevitable and definitely uncontrollable. We, as consumers have been left with deciding whether to trust or to believe what the advertisements tell us. The effects of these food advertisements could trigger either positively or negatively in our lives. We become molded of these advertisements until they finally influence our lifestyle. We kept on being amazed and driven to purchase these products without knowing what it will affect us. This research will be beneficial especially to people who are fond of eating at fast-food chains. This research will identify how much our sensory and cognitive perception is affected by these food advertisements as well as its effect on our health. This research aims to know which side affects us in food ads more: positively or negatively, or whether it affects us at all. This study will help consumers identify the coined term “multi-sensory advertisements” and how efficient these advertisements are. Being...

It was very interesting to learn that when we are in surroundings for eat a snack or a meal with lighting, aromas, décor, and sounds we ether eat more or less depending on how is our environment. Another environmental influences that caught my attention were package and portion sizes. It is true that when by those bags of potatoes that we love if we eat from the bag we tend to eat more than if we just measure a small portion in a small plate or other food container.

...nourishment. Styling the restaurant as an Italian farmhouse, commercials that invite you to be “part of the family”, and training at their Culinary Institute in Tuscany has shaped a genuine Italian menu. Geographic Segmentation is something that Darden exhibits in the Longhorn chain. Longhorn Restaurants are currently only found in the eastern half of the US. This offers an opportunity for extensive expansion going forward. Demographic Segmentation is exemplified by Red Lobster’s efforts to fill the gap between fast-food seafood and upscale white-tablecloth restaurants. Behavioral Segmentation is realized in usage rates. Darden, along with all other sit-down restaurants, are seeing a decline in the frequency that diners are eating out at sit-down meals. This is a result of economic decline and consumers becoming more particular with how they chose to use their limited finance resources. Slavica Ristoska 2. Has Darden differentiated and positioned its brands effectively? Explain. Answer: I believe that Darden has done a good job of this. Darden’s brands are so well differentiated and positioned and the corporate name is kept so low-profile that most customers don’t realize they share a common ownership. They have...
