Color-Coded Breakfasts at Hilton Hotels

Posted by Adam Kuban, May 4, 2007

parishilton.jpg Hilton Hotels are launching their Hilton Breakfast Program across their North American properties by this summer, featuring a system of color-coded labels "to assist guests visually in managing their dietary needs. The labels denote whether the menu item is low-cholesterol, low-fat, high-fiber, low-calorie, high-energy or an indulgence."

As Gridskipper's Omri Ceren said, "Who the hell is this for? Are there Jews who'll accidentally eat bacon if it's shaded in fuschia on the menu? Are there diabetics too stupid to avoid adding extra sugar to their pancakes? And if there are diabetics like that, why are we preventing evolution from disposing of them as is right and proper?"

Also I wonder what pink labels mean in the program—I mean, everyone knows pink means Paris! Maybe they'll be dishes fit for her chihuahua...
