Public relations is very important for restaurants and lately in Fall of 2006 we have seen many of eating establishments take some heavy hits due to citizens in an uproar that restaurants do not tell us what is in the ingredients of the food on the menus. In New York they tried to pass a law that would make it mandatory for all food to have also listed what was in it. Of course some restaurants have secret ingredients and this was problematic.
Another recent development was the idea that Transfat would not be allowed to be sold in restaurants, but restaurant owners proclaim; If we do that and take out all dishes with transfat then the food will taste horrible and no one will buy it, we may as well close our doors now if this legislation goes into affect.
Of course many consumers, believe that at least some of the obesity problems in the US come from the bad foods we eat and they want restaurants to toe the line. Sounds like it might be a good time for Restaurants and restaurant associations to get busy with a robust public relations program that will explain to everyone the truth about food and the need to exercise and take responsibility for their own actions. Consider all this in 2006.
