Having just read an article over at The New York Times, I come to you with a question:
Would you pay less to waste less or weigh less ?
The test being performed at T.G.I.Friday’s is one that’s been tried before, but they now believe that we’re ready to eat less, waste less and weight less.
I eat out a lot. Every day. I’m on the road, I take clients out for lunch and/or dinner, I meet with suppliers, etc.
I eat less, volume wise, than I did 3-5 years ago. Not because I can’t eat that much, I don’t want to.
I find myself looking for smaller portions, soup and salad combos, 1/2 sandwich and soup combos, etc.
If I have to go thru a drive-thru at a fast food place while driving, I’ll get a sandwich sans fries or go to Wendy’s where they let me get a Caesar salad as my side.
I’m 6’2″ and 250, so I could eat massive portions and get away with it, ’cause I can carry the weight well enough, but I find myself looking for ways to eat less, which seems to make me feel better.
I applaud T.G.I.Friday’s for giving us a choice. I’ll now put them on my food radar ( foodar ? ) for those times when I’m in charge of picking the spot to settle into.
Will you take the opportunity to pay less for less food ?
