Dutch cafe takes product research to new level
Dutch lab researches what people eat and how to influence habits
WAGENINGEN, Netherlands - At the university cafeteria, women linger longer than men over their lunch decisions. Given a choice, they tend to opt for meat labeled "animal friendly," while men likely will go for a new product.
Cameras are watching them. From inside a control room, monitors record the customers' movements, hesitations, facial expressions, posture, weight, even their eating habits.
It gives the scientists plenty to chew over. They study the influences on eating, how products can be made more appealing, and how to direct consumers to specific — perhaps healthier — choices. Dutch lab researches what people eat and how to influence habits ... more -

Restaurants feel mid-market pinch
In a slowdown, economists say to expect the squeeze in the market's middle: for Britain's recently fast-growing restaurants, it's starting with lunch.
Chef Pascal Aussignac, who has been serving Londoners at the chic Club Gascon for almost a decade, says rising inflation, housing and food prices are pinching his customers' midday purses.
"People are eating more at their desk, they've cut down their budget," he said. "Only senior people are lunching at a restaurant ... We feel the credit crunch at lunchtime."
Chefs in the U.K.'s 24 billion pound industry, such as Michel Roux, owner of London's Le Gavroche restaurant, have seen the price of a fillet of beef rise to 26 pounds, from 19 in January, Roux told Reuters.
"I am taking a bitter pill," Roux said on the sidelines of a food festival, Taste London, where elegantly dressed women in wide-brimmed hats sipped champagne and sampled oysters.
But analysts say his Mayfair restaurant -- which charges an average of 80 pounds per head -- and other up-market sites where customers don't need to look at their pay cheques ahead of a decision to dine are not on the front line.
It is the mid-market tier, charging between 20 and 30 pounds per head and mainly set in provincial Britain where the prospect of tougher times and rising prices are prompting ordinary people to eat more at home.
"It's a sector that's going to have a really tough time," said Peter Baldwin, a partner at law firm Jones Day, which specialises in debt restructurings and insolvencies. "The first bit of expenses that people cut are the personal expenses, like restaurants."

My Morning Breakfast! - Nutrition and Health
My Morning Breakfast.
Nutritional Food and Health.
They are indeed very correlated.
I am so blessed for being raised in a family of Nutritionists as my wonderful Mother and Father always practice what they preached.
Quality food it was all around. So I just acquired that notion from them and as a double blessing I have a partner that is also a Nutritionist and Vegetarian so what could I have asked for anything more? Here is one of my favor morning breakfast.
1. Pineapple and you have to eat first than everything else because fruits and alkaline digest in your intestines as other foods digest in your stomach. So eat the fruit first than the other things, that is the rule here.
2. Sorry but I have to have my "caffè latte" and here is how I prepare it:
a. Little less than a 1/4 of low fat milk in the cup. (No Sugar!)
b. When the machine is steaming up make sure you do not burn the coffee in the end as it will give your "latte" a bad taste. I am daily have just one cup of coffee in the morning and that will last me for the whole day. Sometimes I will have another in the late afternoon but only when friends are over and we have some croissants, banana bread or other delicious dessert.
3. Then I will have organic low fat 27 OZ. 765g., vanilla yogurt, that you also can find at Trader Joe's. It is very smooth and tasty.
a. I sprinkling my favor granola cereal 3 berries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries on top of the yogurt. They are delicious, you can find it at Trader Joe's also 16OZ, 454g.
I try to be moderate with the all three portions and my body energy run just fine until even after lunch time.
But remember, each person have their own blood type and what is good for some is not good for others. That means that eating have a lot to do in knowing your body first. Then pick up the foods that have good nutritional values that are acceptable and good for you.
Have a great and productive day and tell me what you think!
We are so blessed to have food as there are many people all over the world without it and I feel always very concerned about that. My Morning Breakfast. Nutritional Food and Health. They are indeed very correlated. ... more
