Today is Low Carbon Diet Day!

In more than 400 cafés across the country, Bon Appétit Management Company will be launching our Low Carbon Diet program!

At lunchtime, the entire Bon Appétit café will be transformed to illustrate ways our customers can reduce climate change through their food choices. Each station in the café will highlight a principle of the Low Carbon Diet in addition to a low carbon food choice.

We also developed a Low Carbon Diet Calculator, a fun and interactive tool that helps illustrate the impact of your food choices--check it out!

So far, we're off to a good start: a front page spread of the Los Angeles Times!

Here's a short video we made for the Low Carbon Diet as well.

Bon Appetite has reached a new low with their "low carbon diet day." I don't think by refusing to serve me a hamburger will solve this so-called global warming issue. Here in Oregon, we just finished a cycle that effectively erased the past 20 years warming trend. It's complete vanity to think that humans can swing the environment so much that we can solve it by not eating hamburgers for 1 day. I mean, come-on!!! Who's running the show and tell them to stop drinking the Al Gore Kool Aid! Your flyer showed sushi being flown from Japan... do you even sell sushi here at [our cafe]? If so, is it really flow in from Japan? I wouldn't think so (I would hope it uses local ingredients.) Please try to not disrupt my choices with your political statements in the future. Thanks!
