Gone are the staples of the previous regime, most notably "Taco Tuesday" and "Junk Food Friday" (no word yet as to whether Kobayashi will stay on as Head Nutritionist); replaced by food pyramid posters and personal signature smoothies.

To say this represents a sea change in dietary attitude from the 14-year big enchilada, Andy 'Chickie's and Pete's' Reid, is akin to arguing contestants on The Biggest Loser are a tad on the peckish side.
