| Signs of change in the UK.
A long article in this weeks Sunday Times describes a fall in growth of McDonalds in the UK. They are shutting 25 restaurants, changing menus to healthier choices in others, even completely changing restaurant formats in others.
In the same newspaper is another article describing the effect of a new 'traffic light' coded food labelling (for fat, saturates,sugar and salt) in some supermarkets. The sales of higher fat products has apparently fallen by up to 40% and sales of lower fat products have risen. One supermarket executive said
' We have seen significant changes in customer behaviour ..if we make our products more healthy, more people are buying them'
So its becoming profitable to sell healthier products.
I'm not saying that things have changed completely, far from it ! but I do think that all the recent TV programs on healthier eating have been having an effect. Whether it will be permanent is a different matter. |
