Mainstreaming of Healthy Options
It’s hard to imagine that just 35-40 years ago restaurants didn’t offer any healthy options. There were no diet sodas, margarine, grilled chicken sandwiches, or anything other than iceberg salads.

We’ll examine the past and then look to the future.
• History of healthy options in restaurants
• What pushed the demand and how successful are they?
• What didn’t work and why?
• What healthy products are predicted to go mainstream in the upcoming years?
