It’s been quite a year. Three months after we assumed chairmanship of the National Restaurant Association and National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation last May, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. Within six weeks, more than 17,000 restaurants from around the country, led by the National Restaurant Association, pulled together in an unprecedented grassroots effort that ultimately raised more than $12.5 million for the American Red Cross’s hurricane-relief efforts. The Dine for America effort is one example of how restaurateurs lead. The Association and its members also are front and center in critical national debates, fighting for immigration reform and solutions to rising health-care costs, abusive lawsuits and other issues. National media outlets have dubbed the Association, along with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and four other national business organizations, as part of the so-called “Gang of Six,” in recognition of our industry’s impact on public policy. Restaurants lead in other ways too. Through programs like the NRAEF’s Leadership & Management Program; the new NRAEF ManageFirst ProgramTM for college, university and professional school students; our thriving ProStart® program for high school students; and our scholarships and mentoring initiatives, we help recruit, train and advance a diverse workforce of 12.5 million. This year the NRAEF unveiled its fourth edition of ServSafe®, our 30-year-old food-safety training and certification program. We consider this a tremendous achievement. Our leadership in this area has touched millions—not just the 300,000-plus foodservice professionals certified through ServSafe each year, but the millions of guests they have served. And in its inaugural year, the ServSafe AlcoholTM program has met with widespread acclaim and been adopted by industry-leading companies. Our strong partnership with our 53 state restaurant association partners makes it all possible. We have 53 extensions of our national effort across our country, and are truly “one” in support of our great industry. So when you talk about leadership at every level, we believe that the nation’s restaurateurs are a shining example. Our 925,000 restaurant locations are taking the lead in outreach, advocacy and education. We are proud of all we have accomplished in the past year and invite you to read more about it.

  • Under Fire, Fast Food Giants Switch to Healthier Fare
    _______________________________________________________________________ USA Today, McLean, VA Under Fire, Food Giants Switch to Healthier Fare July 1, 2003 Bruce Horovitz <<<>>> This document is available on the Education Policy Studies Laboratory website at http://www.asu.edu/educ/epsl/CERU/Articles/CERU-0307-127-OWI.doc ________________________________________________________________________ Junk food's best consumers are kids -- increasingly obese kids. So that's not the dinner bell you hear. It's an alarm bell raising Oreo-size goose bumps for the giant makers of now-unfashionable sugary, fatty and calorie-laden foods. All are faced with this new reality: As concern about obesity rises, they're within a few cookie crumbs of becoming the next Big Tobacco for trial lawyers. "You can't stop tobacco from being unhealthy," says Sam Hirsch, an attorney whose obese clients filed lawsuits against McDonald's. "But you can make food less unhealthy." Consumer groups are screaming. Parents are steaming. Lawyers are suing. The obese are stewing. Lawmakers are threatening a "fat tax." And some analysts are giving food stocks the ax. That's why, faster than you can say "supersize it," the nation's food behemoths are responding: * Kraft Foods, the nation's largest food company, will announce today a sweeping, global overhaul of the way it creates, packages and promotes its foods. Kraft plans to reduce the portion size, fat and calories of many of its foods, a move that other major food companies worldwide are expected to mimic. "This will force everyone else to review their policies and get on board," says Derek Yach, coordinator of diet and physical activity at the powerful World Health Organization.
