Virginia and I have decided to focus our project on the display/availability of nutritional information in restaurants, including lists of ingredients in each dish in order to accommodate people with allergies or food intolerances. The question we will be investigating is, is it unethical and should it be against the law for restaurants to deny customers access to nutritional information and ingredients? There have been many books, such as “Eat This, Not That!” that deal with nutritional deception in restaurants, and shock readers with the nutritional information of various dishes in popular restaurant chains. If the restaurants had to display their nutritional information to the public, would it drive them to make their food healthier? These questions are examples of the ideas we will be exploring for our presentation.
P.S. Niko! You are welcome to be a member of our group!
I think this would work well if you can identify a dramatic story. The one that first comes to mind is the one of the teenage girl in Quebec, who died after kissing her boyfriend who had eaten a peanut butter sandwich. You will need to find something that will catch people's attention.
