Disadvantages Of Product Platform Planning

Evidently, the people who are a part of the Nutritional community are focused on living a healthy and lasting life. For example, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and grain products that contain dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber, and low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease (Food). Whether they would like to gain, lose, or maintain their weight they refer to this label which is ultimately the deciding factor as to whether or not they will purchase/use the product.

Do you like eating at restaurants and fast food places? Almost everyone does, but do we really know how healthy and unhealthy the food we are eating is? Labeling food menu choices should become a law. As stated in passage "Label the Meals", one thing both arguments can agree on is that healthy people are happier and more productive. If labeling meals in food places taken upon, it is a way of helping people take charge of their well-being. People should have the obligation of viewing the nutrition information whether the food is nutritious or not.

If you were to go to a restaurant, you would want to know what the nutritional values of the food were, would you not? The labels you see on bags of potato chips or a drink are called nutritional labels (also known as food labels), which show you how much calories, proteins, fats, or a lot more that the item has. In fact, the government made it illegal to make products to sell at stores without the nutritional label. Did you know that restaurants are not required by law to have a label on any of their products? The government needs to make a law to make restaurants put the nutritional values on their foods.

Consumers could spend as much as $10 more per product if proposed label changes go through. The FDA is proposing new food labels by changing its look, and what information is places on the label. Improving food labels would not improve the public’s health because it is (1)costly, (2)will take lots of time and, (3)it is unnecessary. I believe that the new labels won’t help public health because people are not educated enough to know how to read them. More money should be spent on educating people on the labels rather than changing them. If the new labels are made the people who knew how to read them before will now have to learn how to read the new labels. With the new labels means more money spent on things that is unneeded.

Establish relationships with your suppliers and employees starts with good and regular communication. It can be taken further by having group activities or teams. Also by establishing mutually beneficial achievable goals.

Product innovation is the creation and subsequent introduction of a good or service that is either new, or improved on previous goods or services.

The Labeling and Education Act of 1990 was the last major government action involving nutrition labeling, which did not take effect until 1994. This action required that serving size and nutrition labeling to be clearly displayed on packaged foods that were being sold at the grocery stores. Restaurant and other ready-to-eat food were exempted from this new law. But in 2014, twenty years after this action went into effect; the FDA released a proposed rule to renew the nutrition-facts label, which required packaged foods to include the amount of sugar, and to increase the size of the calorie label font, making it easier for consumers to read the labels.

The Federal government has remained silent on the subject of food labeling since passing the Labeling and Education Act of 1990, which introduced the now-familiar nutrition label and serving size information found on the majority of packaged foods. That legislation, however, purposefully excluded businesses selling ready-to-eat food.

Historically restaurants were exempt from nutrition labeling due to 1990s policy during the Bush Administration6. The policy of menu labeling emerged with growing concern over the obesity crisis and malnutrition in America. Currently more than one third of US adults are obese3. Obesity related conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and some cancers are the leading causes of preventable deaths in America3. President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law on March 23, 2010 with the provision of section 42059. Section 4205 was aimed at providing increased information about nutrition and calorie content to the public with the goal of helping consumers make informed and healthful dietary choices9. This section was originally due to be enacted in April 20139.

First off, in order to revise the food label, we need to understand how it is supposed to work. The food label was develop, and is currently regulated by the Food and Drug Administration since 1993 (Rosso Grossman, “Food Labels”). The food label is currently has four requirements. The first is the principal display panel. This is in the front of the package and the label is what the food is commonly

Making food choices is a major component in the health and well being of our bodies just a few

Fats, calories, and unhealthy food, these are all things that are in are foods and without labeling to tell us how much in in there we will never know which foods are healthy and unhealthy. So I have come to state facts and details on why food labelling should be a law and should be enforced.

According to the text in “Label the Meals”, when labels are available, research shows that about one-quarter of customers use it to limit what they decide to eat. This helps customers be more healthy and that is our purpose with labels. These customers that limit what they decide to eat usually end up eating 400 less calories than to when there are no labels. This is needed because over the past 30 years, Americans have nearly doubled the calories they recieve away from home. This is a risk for all of us and can promote sodium and fat consumption.
