The article I will speak about today was written in December 2012 by an InvestorPlace writer whose name is Christopher Freeburn.
It is entitled "3 Biggest Restaurant Nutrition Trends in 2012" and was publised in the website "InvestorPlace.com".
Not only restaurants have a role in giving consumers options in selecting healthy food. In 2012 there were some laws passed in the USA about food and nutrition.
First, there are Menu Labelling rules stipulating that restaurants have to inform customers about food composition and nutritional benefits in the menus.
The second law is a restriction on the sale of soda and drinks over 16 ounces.
The last one is about protecting people with food allergy (an increasing phenomenon).
So these laws aims at informing people about new issues concerning food and nutrition in the word: obesity and allergy.

Let's have a look at the most important labels concerning organic products
The article is taken from the online newspaper Thedailygreen.com in "Tips & advice" section. It is entitled "Organic Labels come in different shapes and sizes".
First, the word "organic" is a complex one because it corresponds to a various-meaning concept.
Then, it is explained in the article that labels are on a different-level scale: either local, national, european or international/global for example.
Those labels may differ a lot too in their characteristics, expansion and so on; depending on the country or on people's expectations. For instance, it is written that rules about organic labels are stricter in Japan than in other countries worldwide.
Limits of the label may be large or not, often controlled or not, englobing lots of criteria or a few (like the use of pesticide, the % of organic elements in the composition of a product etc).
That's why we can say that organic labels are still complex and not based on global and strict rules and limits, so organisations and governments have to still work on that issue!
