    The worst part about this whole "clean" business is they really changed their chicken Caesar salad. No more asiago cheese and the dressing isn't as good.

    The only time I've ever eaten at Panera......this is what I got. It was awful.

    As someone with a marketing background, this is actually great planning on their part. Is it basically meaningless nonsense? Of course it is. However, they found the buzzword of the day that will stick with a large audience. Almost have to applaud them for beating others to the punch

    Exactly right, a buzzword, used to hook some people.
    But, then again, what does it mean to anyone. There are multiple topics here about it almost daily.

    It just depends on the person. To the well informed, "clean" is a meaningless term. But it seems for many (especially those who bounce from diet to diet looking for results), "clean" means healthy. My assumption is that people see Panera, and think, "This is much better for me than Chik-fil-a, McDonald's, or KFC so I am going to go there". Anything that increases traffic is a success. I personally go to Panera because I love their food.

    Well I did say "some" people. I did not mean, or say, all people. It is a meaningless term to a lot of people. Even those of us that are not "well informed". And "healthy" is another term bounced around quite a bit here.

    Oh I completely agree that it is essentially a meaningless term; I also think "healthy" is highly subjective as well. Unfortunately, my experience with many of the people close to me view "clean" and "healthy" as gold standards so they jump at things using these terms. Having said that, these are the same people that have done everything from Atkin's to ACV to body wraps to Plexus, et cetera; they are very susceptible to marketing campaigns.

    Isn't "In and Out's" burgers all "clean" too? Lol, advertising makes all the difference with making a dollar. People today are so gullible when it comes to "healthy" eating.
