THE FOOD GAME:
HOW TO WIN
FROM ARA FOOD
SERVICES
In the past few months,
nutrition has been a hot
topic in the news. We have
found out that food labels
don't always tell us what's
inside and that the basic
food groups are in disarray.
Because it's such a hot
topic, something as
pleasurable as a hot meal
can raise a lot of questions:
Is any food good for you?
How do you know what's in
a package? Just who is
winning the food game?
It all started about ten
years ago when people
finally started listening to
doctors and registered
dietitians, who said that
excessive amounts of fat,
cholesterol and calories
January 3, 1992
were the leading causes of
heart disease and cancer.
The American diet, experts
agreed, was a major
contributor.
THE FOOD INDUSTRY
RESPONDS
Marketing tests and
focus groups told the food
industry that people wanted
to eat healthier foods.
Words like "lite", "fat-free",
"no-cholesterol", and "fresh"
became part of our
shopping vocabulary.
In some cases the
products are healthier, but
not always. Many of the
products were unchanged,
only repackaged to
highlight a "natural" or
"cholesterol-free" ingredient
while still delivering an
excessive amount of fat.
People who thought they
were improving their diets
were still eating the same
foods in harmful amounts.
At this point the
consumer interested in
dieting was losing.
