Lets Eat Out
One of my most visited restaurants here in Memphis is Char Restaurant. They serve a variety of foods, but my favourite is the Cowboy Ribeye with maître d butter. This meal is mainly made up of meat and fats. The meal has a lot of protein, fats, and oils, plus a few vitamins and minerals. As such, I consume high calories every time I take this meal. Some of the substitutions that would make this meal healthier would be to reduce the size of the steak, add a few vegetables and fruits, or make a salad. Further, the maître d butter could be served in fewer portions to cut back on the fats and oils. Or better yet, I could use other alternatives to stay healthy after eating this meal, including physical exercise (Schiff, 2022).
After watching the video provided for this assignment (Vanille 2012), I would not feel comfortable asking a server to make these changes. This is because I think it would be an inconvenience to them. Suppose everyone at the restraint showed up with specific instructions on how they want their meals prepared; it would be unfair and stressful to the restaurant. I believe one of the unspoken rules of dining in restaurants and not cooking one’s own food is to take the food served at restaurants as it is. As long as the food served is as advertised on the menu, then there should be no problem. Nevertheless, I believe that restaurants should make exceptions for people with health conditions requiring small changes in their meals. Besides, if I wanted healthier meals, I believe there are ways to make that happen, including looking for restaurants that cook healthy food like vegetarian or vegan options (Klein, 2017; Cheng, Lin & Tsai, 2014). Secondly, I can make meals at home to keep track of everything I eat, which is also a good option.
