Week 3
Intro to Hospitality Management

I read an article on in regard to eating meat “MEAT’S IMPACT” https://www.cspinet.org/nah/pdfs/meatsimpact.pdf
And found that the article can potentially impact the restaurant industry if every person that frequents restaurants reads the article, and makes a conscious decision to better their health. The chance of this is likely less than a 2% chance, but if people as a group decide that they wish to benefit from changing their eating habits based on this article then it is likely that there will be a great reduction in the amount of meat that is consumed on a regular basis.
The article indicates that there are many adverse effects that occur from the consumption of meat, anywhere from heart attack, cardiovascular disease to stroke, and colon cancer. So in most cases people will initially swear off the meat, but then remember meat is tasty. As with any food that is good to the palette, it is a double edged sword that shows us the product is very desirable, but we just need to remember that moderation is important to maintain a diet that will not end our lives in one way, or another.
The article also mention other incentives to reduce the intake of meat such as, the amount of water it takes to produce the product, and the emissions of greenhouse gas caused from the production as well. Now, the last thing people are thinking when they are viewing a menu are things like how much water is required for this selection, or what will be the environmental impact of this choice? – it just does not happen enough to make a measurable difference.
I have read the article, and think that it will have about ½ of 1 percent impact upon my menu choices, or diet.
I have found this information interesting, but it will not change the way that I eat, nor do I feel that it will have any impact upon society, and
