World's oldest person dies at 114 CNN Report August 14, 2007 TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- Yone Minagawa, who became the world's oldest person earlier this year, has died at a nursing home in southwestern Japan, an official said Tuesday. She was 114. In 2006, Japanese women set a new record for life expectancy at 85.81 years, while men live an average of about 79 years. The number of Japanese living beyond 100 has almost quadrupled in the past 10 years and is soon expected to surpass 28,000.CNN Report August 14, 2007 TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- Yone Minagawa, who became the world's oldest person earlier this year, has died at a nursing home in southwestern Japan, an official said Tuesday.

    8. Experts’ views of the relative importance of “health” and “amenities” service styles in assisted-living facilities for older adults. Food and nutrition quality indicators were grouped by service styles: “Health” (44 items), “Amenity” 23 items), and “Health/Amenities both” 21 items. The respondent was given a score of 1 for each item rated as very or extremely important. For example, those rating 100% of health indicators as very or extremely important would score100; those rating 50% as such would score 50. Shirley Chao, et al.

    9. What is, “Taste”? Appearance Visual Properties of a product Eat with your eyes Shape- Small. Large, Flat, Thick, Thin, Round Texture Flavor Taste William Franklin CMC, Nestle Co. Presented at MOWAA Appearance – overall look, presented on a lettuce leaf, in association with other items, does it look moist, dried out, off color Visual properties – grill marks, dusting of paprika, glaze Eat with your eyes – emotional response Flavor – smell Taste – bitter, sour, sweet, salty, William Franklin CMC, Nestle Co.

    10. Taste Salty Bitter Sour Sweet Umami – savory, meaty, brothy Kokumi – harmony, richness, mouth-filling Umami results from the release of amino acids in protein, examples include aged beef, aged parmesan, beef stew Asian fish sauce – almost pure amino acids, dashi made from seaweed and bonito flakes to make mizo soup.

    13. Dining Out Is A Way of Life Convenience will continue to affect restaurant trends in 2007 Health and wellness Gourmet and innovative Bolder and spicier flavors Comfort foods and familiar flavors Convenience will continue to affect restaurant trends in 2007 and beyond. Other key trends will include health and wellness; the move toward upscale, gourmet or exotic flavors and, on the flipside, a move toward comfort foods and familiar flavors; an interest in small plates and portion sizes; and a broader look at breakfast. Flavor trends abound throughout the restaurant industry. No longer are fine-dining restaurants the only places to find new ingredients. “Bolder flavors such as lemon grass and coconut, artisanal goat cheese and blue cheese, different kinds of pestos -- in other words, ingredients that were upscale a few years ago -- are trickling down to the quick-serve and casual menus,”. Diners are increasingly looking for new high quality, gourmet, and exotic foods. More than four in 10 (44 percent) of consumers say they usually try to order something at restaurants that they’ve never had before, according to the Restaurants & Institutions “New American Diner Study 2005.” Restaurant consultants Joseph Baum & Michael Whitman say one trend for 2006 will be the “democratization of luxury” and predict Americans will look for more accessibly-priced premium “enjoyment foods” on menus. Some examples might be extra courses of appetizers, cheeses or desserts; flights of mini food-and-wine pairings; specialty salts; branded beef and pork (like Korobuta, Niman Ranch); house-made offerings from breads to potato chips, and cured fish and salumi. Diners are increasingly looking for and expecting high-quality ingredients. Terms like artisanal, organic, locally-sourced have become powerful labels. One-third of chain chefs believe comfort foods will be among the next major menu trends…about six out of 10 consumers eat comfort foods between one and three times a week, and 11 percent chose comfort foods daily. According to Mintel Menu Insight database, 3rd quarter 2005, meatloaf, stew, macaroni and cheese, pot roast, sausage, spaetzel, apple/fruit pie, potatoes, and barbecue are among the most frequently menued comfort foods in American restaurants. Comfort food is also going upscale. For example, such favorites as grilled cheese sandwiches are going gourmet with specialty cheeses, artisan breads, and exotic toppings. Barbecue is one of America’s favorite traditional foods – it’s back again. There’s no better comfort food than breakfast. In today’s competitive restaurant environment, breakfast is emerging as an eye-opening opportunity…42.9 percent of households purchase breakfast away from home at least once during the average week…there may be two different breakfast markets, one driven by convenience and another by indulgence. Convenience stores, too, are ramping up their breakfast menus. In table service restaurants, traditional breakfast items from bacon to pancakes are getting a new look…going more upscale, with house cured, specialty-flavored varieties turning up as signature items Convenience will continue to affect restaurant trends in 2007 and beyond.

    15. Demographic Shifts The face of aging in the United States is changing dramatically — and rapidly…today’s older Americans are very different from their predecessors, living longer, having lower rates of disability, achieving higher levels of education and less often living in poverty. Baby boomers, the first of whom celebrated their 60th birthdays in 2006, promise to redefine what it means to grow older in America. While the demographic mix of the U.S. population continues to change fundamentally (albeit slowly) through international immigration and population aging, the impact to the foodservice business as a result of these changes has been minimal. Perhaps the reason is economic. Household incomes have stalled for all but the upper classes and discretionary income growth remains a key driver of foodservice sales growth. Despite the low rate of change, macro demographic trends are impacting foodservice sales to a limited degree and bear watching. The future older population is likely to be better educated than the current older population, especially when Baby Boomers start reaching age 65. Their increased levels of education may accompany better health, higher incomes, and more wealth, and consequently higher standards of living in retirement, therefore some will have more disposable income.

    18. In Summary… Eating patterns in the United States are complex. 3 Major Eating Trends… 1. Our eating habits are driven first by taste … and taste does not change quickly! 2. Food companies will introduce new products … especially those that are contemporary versions of products that we already eat or drink. 3. Changes in the way we eat are all about either cost or convenience The most successful menu dishes in 2007 + will combine three key factors: health, convenience, and taste. The size of the population and its diversity makes it difficult to determine a fad versus a structural change in how we feed ourselves. #2 But don’t mistake our willingness to try new foods and beverages as a trend … it’s just us being us ... we’re all food explorers! Wasabe mustard Cranberry mustard # 3 and if you are not making life easier for Americans, you’ll be forced to make it cheaper!

    20. OAA Sec 330 Purpose (1) to reduce hunger & food insecurity; (2) to promote socialization… (3) to promote…health and well-being…by assisting individuals to gain access to nutrition & other disease prevention and health promotion services to delay the onset of adverse health conditions resulting from poor nutritional health or sedentary behavior.

    21. Biological Aging Infancy – birth to age 2 Childhood – age 2 to 8 or 13 Adolescence –13 onset of puberty Young adulthood -- 18 + physical maturity Middle adulthood 40 + Senior adulthood -- 65 + 40+ metabolism slows down and skin and hair show signs of aging, muscle strength decreases, vision and hearing diminish, some decline in cognitive abilities. 65+ Signs of aging are obvious. Arthritis and osteoporosis affect joints. Heart disease and cancer exact a heavy toll on the quality of life and cost of health care. 40+ metabolism slows down and skin and hair show signs of aging, muscle strength decreases, vision and hearing diminish, some decline in cognitive abilities. 65+ Signs of aging are obvious.

    22. The Seven Ages of Man. From a French Almanack published in Paris by Petit in 1525. The characters build a circle, the old man being close to the baby in the cradle. William Shakespeare made the 'seven ages of man' widely known, having described them in his As You Like It 2.7 All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. The Seven Ages of Man.

    27. Depression Cohort Waste Not, Want Not Generation Lived through the Depression Throwing food away was a sin Told their children to clean their plates Children were to be thankful because there were poor children starving overseas. Here is a picture of men waiting for food in a breadline. This was a typical sight during the Great Depression since many people did not have enough money to buy food. This photo was taken from the Franklin Deleno Roosevelt Library at http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/. By the 80s many people have deminished taste and smell sensitivity. One packaged sausage maker had a problem with their Depression Cohort customers. They felt the spiciness level of the sausages had diminished. The sausage hadn’t changed but the cohort had. Adding spices was not the answer. Instead they increased the intensity of the red color in the spice flakes used in the sausages. Suddenly, the perceived spiciness was just what they remembered. One customer said that the sausage was “just they way it used to be!” p.79 Defining Markets – Defining Moments.Here is a picture of men waiting for food in a breadline.

Walter Anderson and Edgar Waldo “Billy” Ingram, Sr., formed the White Castle System of Eating Houses Corporation in Wichita, Kansas, in 1921.  The company was formally incorporated in 1924, and that same year the two men opened their first restaurant outside of Wichita.  The staple of the White Castle menu was the hamburger, served on a bun with grilled onions.  From the beginning, White Castle restaurants had the distinct look of a castle on the exterior.  White Castle opened its first restaurants in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1927 and in Columbus in 1929. Walter Anderson and Edgar Waldo “Billy” Ingram, Sr., formed the White Castle System of Eating Houses Corporation in Wichita, Kansas, in 1921.  The company was formally incorporated in 1924, and that same year the two men opened their first restaurant outside of Wichita.  The staple of the White Castle menu was the hamburger, served on a bun with grilled onions.  From the beginning, White Castle restaurants had the distinct look of a castle on the exterior.  White Castle opened its first restaurants in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1927 and in Columbus in 1929.
