The truth is, in this country, we’ve got an epidemic on our hands. The majority of our population is overweight. It doesn’t matter who’s to blame. What does matter is how we all play our parts to fix it. Because the government has put restaurants in the middle, we’ll play that middle role and provide information about our menus.
Menu labeling raises the consciousness of restaurant operators and developers, which can only bring about positive change. We can provide healthier menu options to cater to those who need them.
We’re about to start testing salads at Which Wich to provide some variety and new, healthier options for our guests, and we’ve been working with healthydining.com. But, ultimately, we also believe in balance—and that means a well-rounded menu that includes indulgences, too.
On a personal note, I’ve taken a renewed interest in my own health, and I believe in the mantra of personal responsibility. This year I’ve lost almost 50 pounds, so I hope to be a positive role model in this way.
