Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating and revealing work examines the incredible power of junk food and fast food—how nostalgic we are about them, the influence of the companies that manufacture or sell them, and their alarming effect on our country's state of health. In the last half century, junk food and fast food have come to play an extremely important role in American economic, historical, cultural, and social life. Today, they have a major influence on what Americans eat—and how healthy we are (or aren't). Fast Food and Junk Food: An Encyclopedia of What We Love to Eat tells the intriguing, fun, and incredible stories behind the successes of these commercial food products and documents the numerous health-related, environmental, cultural, and politico-economic issues associated with them. With more than 700 alphabetically arranged entries, this two-volume encyclopedia contains enough listings to allow readers to research a wide range of fascinating topics. The author treats the massive amount of subject material within this reference title in a fair and balanced manner. A secondary focus of this encyclopedia is to chart the spread of some American fast food chains and commercially produced junk foods internationally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that influence consumer choice in menu items at fast food chain restaurants. The study utilized social media, specifically Facebook, to collect data from various areas of the United States. Previous literature on the effectiveness of nutrition menu labeling on decreasing calories ordered reported mixed results. Some studies point to groups that may be least affected by menu labeling: men, individuals of certain races, obese individuals, individuals of lower socioeconomic status, unemployed individuals, and individuals who dine outside of the home frequently. The results of this study indicated that men and individuals who dine outside of the home more than three times per week are less influenced by nutrition information than their counterparts. Additionally, about half the participants in this study reported that they do not notice or look for nutrition information. Further research and outreach programs are needed in this area.

This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food Labeling - Nutrition Labeling of Standard Menu Items in Restaurants and Similar Retail Food Establishments (US Food and Drug Administration Regulation) (FDA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Food Labeling - Nutrition Labeling of Standard Menu Items in Restaurants and Similar Retail Food Establishments (US Food and Drug Administration Regulation) (FDA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 To implement the nutrition labeling provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable Care Act or ACA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is requiring disclosure of certain nutrition information for standard menu items in certain restaurants and retail food establishments. The ACA, in part, amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), among other things, to require restaurants and similar retail food establishments that are part of a chain with 20 or more locations doing business under the same name and offering for sale substantially the same menu items to provide calorie and other nutrition information for standard menu items, including food on display and self-service food. Under provisions of the ACA, restaurants and similar retail food establishments not otherwise covered by the law may elect to become subject to these Federal requirements by registering every other year with FDA. Providing accurate, clear, and consistent nutrition information, including the calorie content of foods, in restaurants and similar retail food establishments will make such nutrition information available to consumers in a direct and accessible manner to enable consumers to make informed and healthful dietary choices.

Book excerpt: Increasingly, consumers desire information about the health, safety, environmental and socioeconomic characteristics of food products. These traits often cannot be detected by sight, smell or taste. Therefore, consumers must use food labels to select products that meet their needs and preferences. The growing consumer and industry interest in food labels presents challenges for governments, which must ensure that the product information is accurate, truthful and not misleading to consumers. Governments must decide whether provision of information should be mandatory or voluntary. With the increase in global trade in food, there is a need to harmonize food labels so that product information is understood and relevant to foreign markets.Innovations in food labelling provides information about the principles and requirements of food labelling and reviews the latest trends in this important area. Following an introduction on the evolution of food labelling, further chapters cover the Codex Alimentarius and food labelling, international trade agreements, nutrition labelling, allergies and food labels and environmental and social labels, among other topics.An essential reference for food regulatory agencies, food law experts and professionals in the food industry responsible for labelling as well as consumer and environmental associations with an interest in labelling.

This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 1715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This three-volume encyclopedia on the history of American food and beverages serves as an ideal companion resource for social studies and American history courses, covering topics ranging from early American Indian foods to mandatory nutrition information at fast food restaurants. The expression "you are what you eat" certainly applies to Americans, not just in terms of our physical health, but also in the myriad ways that our taste preferences, eating habits, and food culture are intrinsically tied to our society and history. This standout reference work comprises two volumes containing more than 600 alphabetically arranged historical entries on American foods and beverages, as well as dozens of historical recipes for traditional American foods; and a third volume of more than 120 primary source documents. Never before has there been a reference work that coalesces this diverse range of information into a single set. The entries in this set provide information that will transform any American history research project into an engaging learning experience. Examples include explanations of how tuna fish became a staple food product for Americans, how the canning industry emerged from the Civil War, the difference between Americans and people of other countries in terms of what percentage of their income is spent on food and beverages, and how taxation on beverages like tea, rum, and whisky set off important political rebellions in U.S. history.

Download or read book An Exploratory Analysis of Fast food Chain Restaurant Menus Before and After Local Calorie Labeling Policies 2005 2011 written by Alexa Namba and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: In recent years, regulation requiring the posting of nutritional information at chain restaurants has been implemented in municipalities across the country to combat rising obesity rates. While early research into the effect of such labels on consumer decisions has shown mixed results, no quantitative assessment into the restaurant industry's response to these mandates has been conducted. OBJECTIVE/AIMS: This project aimed to evaluate the impact of menu-labeling regulation on fast-food menu offerings during 7 years, 2005-2011. METHODS: Using the nutrition menus from five case (Arby's, KFC, Long John Silver's, SONIC, and Wendy's) and four control restaurants (Bojangles', Culver's, Hardee's, and Whataburger), this exploratory study compared fast-food chain menu offerings in areas currently under the menu labeling mandate and outside of those jurisdictions. A trend analysis of menu items pre and post-menu labeling legislation quantitatively assessed whether these regulations motivated restaurants to increase their 'healthier' menu options (qualified as "healthier" on a number of nutritional criteria) or modify the nutritional content of their existing menu items. RESULTS: Over the past 7 years, the average calories for a adult a la carte entrees has remained moderately high (approximately 450 calories, standard deviation of 190), with no clear systematic differences between restaurant chains in case vs. control areas. While the overall prevalence of 'healthier' options remains low, a noteworthy increase in the prevalence of healthier entrees was seen at case locations relative to controls after menu labeling regulation in several jurisdictions (from 13% to 20% at case locations vs. remaining static at 8% at control locations, test for difference in the trend p=0.02). The prevalence of a "healthier" a la carte entrée for children also increased (72% to 79% among cases vs. remaining at 6% among controls). CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that menu labeling has thus far not motivated restaurants to improve their menus overall but may motivate restaurants to slightly increase healthier options.

Aided by expert commentators such as Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, the film poses questions such as: Where has my food come from, and who has processed it? What are the giant agribusinesses and what stake do they have in maintaining the status quo of food production and consumption? How can I feed my family healthy foods affordably? Expanding on the film's themes, the book Food, Inc. will answer those questions through a series of challenging essays by leading experts and thinkers. This book will encourage those inspired by the film to learn more about the issues, and act to change the world.
