Top Trends in Food Management

-
According to Food Management, there are some top trends being seen in managed service. The top five trends that are being seen include:
  • Food trucks
  • Sustainability programs
  • Nutrition education
  • Promotion of wellness
  • Mobile computing
The mobile computing is a key area for many managers in the food service industry. They want to be able to get on Facebook and Twitter, for example, to connect with their clients. This is a great way to get your product out there in time when social media plays such a vital role in the process. The food service managers can give menus, nutritional information and even place orders. This definitely seems to be the way of staying current and in touch with the client.
The nutrition education is also a great way for the foodservice department to allow the customers to see the nutritional facts and learn how to make the best choices at the facility. The public being able to see what is in the food choices they make could sway them to want to make better choices in the future. This is a great idea to increase the nutrition knowledge of the public.

White or brown sugar? Cane or raw? Should we just go with Stevia instead? Is it even okay to consume artificial sweeteners? Should we avoid foods with high amounts of natural sugar in them? Each answer only seems to lead to another question!  Let’s start off with distinguishing the purpose of sugar in the first place. Do our bodies even need it? The short answer is yes! Sugars are carbohydrates (what we commonly call “carbs”), one of the three main macronutrients that our bodies need for fuel to function and survive. One of the major ways to categorize sugar is by separating the “natural” sugars from the “added” sugars. Natural sugars are, well, naturally found in foods. They give us the energy th

Milk Mythbusters

Just like with any nutrition topic, the facts about milk can become convoluted pretty quickly. Whether you drink milk for the protein, the nutrients, the flavor, or just like to switch it up, there are pros and cons to every kind. Here are some quick nutritional facts about each type to help you decide which is best for you. Animal-Based Milks  Whole Milk: The original diary drink. It gets a bad rap, but what whole milk has going for it, is that it’s in its proper nutritional form. Whole milk contains all of its original fat-soluble vitamins, A, E, D, & K, along with the fat to help you absorb them all. It also has the proper concentrations and ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids, or your omega-3s and omega-6s, so that they are metabolized as they should be. The downside is that whole milk is calorically dense, meaning that a little goes a long way. You don’t need much to get what you need, so just don’t overdo it!  2% Milk: The fat content of 2% milk is about half of that in who
