Casual Dining

With the economy in a tailspin for so many Americans, it's no wonder that the casual dining category is flourishing. There are so many casual dining restaurants out there that are national and regional and even local. They are all fighting to capture a small piece of the pie in a sea of competition.

You've seen the ads on t.v. or in one of those mailers that come to the house. Two steak dinners with all the trimmings for $12.99. Buy one and get the second one half off. Free appetizers with the purchase of one meal. They are all over the place and you can't escape them.

Every time I see one of those ads I start to think about the food they are serving. For the purposes of this post I will refer to it as "food", although I can think of several other things to call it. I also started to think about the cost of food today. Commodities are increasing all the time so it is more expensive for a restaurant to buy food at a good price. You would think that they would pass that onto the consumer, but they can't because they are competing for your dollars.

These restaurants have to be competitively priced or they won't be in business. So what are they supposed to do? They have to maintain their quality or no one would eat there, or would they? The only way for these establishments to stay in business is to use less expensive ingredients. Would that mean less quality? In most cases I would have to say yes.

Anytime you go into a restaurant I guess it is a crap shoot in the quality of the food you receive. Then again, even if it is a fine restaurant and not just a casual one that you could find inferior food. That doesn't stop people from going in. If it is a brand they are familiar with then they feel comfortable going there time and time again.

The reason I bring this up is because when I go into a casual dining restaurant today and look around at what people are eating I start to think about the quality of the food on their plates. I think about the fact that the food they are consuming is bankrupt of nutrition and it is polluted. I think about how long it took for the food to travel to get to their plate and all the people that handled the food. How long it has been in storage or if it was properly refrigerated. I know, I sound like I'm crazy, but when you have been exposed to nutrient dense super food and eating quality food, you think about these things.

I know exactly what I'm consuming with my "7 Day Challenge" Protocol and the food from Isagenix. I don't have to guess what I'm putting in my body and I'm actually saving money by eating this food. There are so many advantages to conforming to a caloric restrictive diet. Even though I'm restricting my calories, I'm not sacrificing nutrients. After all, isn't that what your body is craving? If we were to give our bodies more nutrients then I believe we could reduce the obesity rate in this country.

That's why when I see people eating in these casual dining restaurants I want to get in the middle of the room and do a seminar on our current food supply. I'm not sure the manager would appreciate that because by the time I got done, there wouldn't be but a hand full of people left in the place. More Americans have to wake up and become educated on the food they consume. I'm here to help them and I would love to help you too.
