I saw something in Plate magazine or Hospitality Design or one of those rooty tooty mags that was kinda novel and is just stupid enough to take off as far as presentation goes...

Presentation platters that were video players that played back the event on the display...wedding, bar mitvah, blah, blah, blah

As far as food goes, I think Atkins is on the decline and with that we are going to find out the links to health problems because people were stupid enough to eat a ton of fat without supplying their bodies with enough fiber and carbohydrates and exercise to work with the fat, we are going to see a lot of law suits or the potential for a lot of lawsuits and that low fat concentrated diets are going to come back, but I think it is going to be a very long time before we see anything like the LowCarbCraze again...

I have a ten year theory...that every ten years the uneducated westerners get on this health kick that sweeps the nation...weight watchers thirty years ago, twenty years ago everyone wanted to be a vegetarian, ten years ago we all had happy little "Heart Smart" hearts all over our menu, these past few years it has been Raw Foods and Atkins...I think raw foods would have really taken off if it hadn't been to the lowcarbcraze, but it got drowned by Atkins...
