Anthony's Post

This post is from Anthony, he is having issues signing in, so I had him email it to me, and I posted his article.....I don't know how he will comment on the other blog postings yet....

Article: href="http://www.restaurant.org/pressroom/print/index.cfm?ID=1746">

The nation has now put a site together to tell people which restaurants are more healthy for people to eat at. The object is to make a centralize site where people can go to figure out if the restaurants they go to are a smart choice for their health. The biggest site to tell people about where to get a nutritionally sound meal is healthy dinning finder .com.

The website focuses on healthy menu items and how people can mark a smart choice for dinner. It shows cases what restaurants are doing to deal with the more nutritional savvy diners of today. It also brings these ideas to a convenient format online which in America people are always on the run and on the computer it makes it easier for them to access such choices.

The website organizes the website with custom website for the participating restaurants along with a blog so the restaurants and costumers can react to anything about the site. Also there is a part where you can spread the word along with a free news letter.

I believe this is a great way for people to find out about healthy restaurant choices. People are always on the computer it is a great way for you to find out about healthy lunch or dinner choices. It also is very useful so people can get dinner ideas and for restaurants can figure out how to stay with the times of what is going on in this industry.

  1. The website described in this article would be very helpful to consumers when they are deciding on where to eat out. Restaurants could also benefit by being high on the website, where many consumers would be attracted to dine at their healthy restaurant. The idea of a website to organize all the information about restaurants is a great way to get the information out, since most American's prefer to use their computers.

  2. I think this is an awesome idea and didn't realize something like this existed. It seems as though these days everyone is trying to eat healthy or consciously. At the same time however, people still enjoy going out for a meal. This is a great tool to combine both of those concepts. People who love to eat out and love food can now do so but be aware of the food they are consuming. I also strongly agree with Jillian because I believe that more and more restaurants are looking for ways to attract people in the health niche. As more people become health conscious of the food they eat, restaurants are going to have to be able to meet those demands. I feel as though this website could end up taking off and could end up being a huge success.

  3. This website is a great idea for those 75% of adults trying to eat healthier. I also feel that being rated high on the list will grab more peoples attention. With the website having over 60,000 restaurants it is very time consuming to scroll through them. The blog is a great idea. Consumers can share experiences with people looking for a great meal that is good for them. I also think the website having a Nutrition 101 section that helps people understand healthy lifestyle guidelines with a newsletter that gives you recipes and health-savvy dining out advice.
