🥗TREAT YOUR LEFTOVERS LIKE VIPS🤩 To waste less food, I bring my own to-go container to restaurants, immediately sealing in the freshness (and odors) of my leftovers. I freshen them up when reheating in a pan, adding herbs or other ingredients to extend the restaurant flavors for another meal. How do you prevent #FoodWaste? Oh, and Happy #FoodWastePreventionWeek to all!! #Sustainability

We all can do our part by adopting healthier eating habits. Dining out has become woven into our food culture and customs for many of us because we are caught up in our busy lives and do not have time to prepare home-cooked meals. How can we ensure we are having a well-balanced meal when we eat out? Read about how you can include the various food groups when dining out here: https://lnkd.in/gNjhPnBP

Influencing diner behaviour 💡 In 2020, the World Resources Institute published their fantastic ‘Playbook For Guiding Diners Towards Plant-Rich Foods’ (an updated version is coming later this year!). This proved that decision-making around food is not driven by logic or rational thinking, but is instead influenced by a wide variety of factors in the food environment in question – meaning that restaurants have the opportunity to influence consumer choices through ‘nudges’. These influences often work on a subconscious level and don’t need to be explicit to have an effect.  Examples include informative signage and descriptive language used on menus, as well as the placement, size and pricing of the food or drink in question. Buffets are an especially big source of #foodwaste. An effective way to combat this is to use smaller plates and ditch the trays – an incredibly simple approach that really works. Larger delph can result in guests piling their plates high on their first trip to the buffet counter. Swapping to smaller sizes makes it more likely that guests will take it in stages, going back for more if they’re still hungry.

"Food to go" - If you ask for „food to go” at a restaurant you want it wrapped so you can take it away with you instead of eating it in the restaurant. This includes take-away meals, snacks, or drinks that are convenient for consumption while traveling or on-the-go. How often do you order dishes to go? #foodtogo #takeawaymeals #usefulenglishphrases #learningenglish #englishcourseonline #learntospeakenglish #motivationtolearnenglish

Another clip from the Food As Medicine seminar I hosted for PreventClinic. I call this the Breakfast Formula. You can apply it to any meal, home cooked or at a restaurant. This is what participants found most helpful. This formula can be used to determine how to compose their breakfast and the order to consume it in. #foodasmedicine #corporatewellness
