the drink staller: the problem of the new movement to Nutri grade mark- solve by giving the content of how the sugar and saturated fat is measured (chart(teaspoon) or graph), the stall owners can promote what type of drinks/ a recommended options for everyone.

the Public can ask for different types of sweetness/sugar (stevia sugar), which is a healthier option than regular sugar.

benefit for both parties:
the stall owners: get new customers or keep their current customers by giving them the opportunity to customize their drinks.
the public: they will go back to the same stall and bring new people to the stall as they might be the only few stalls who will do this customization

For many years in Singapore, coffee shops (Kopitiam) has never used any measuring equipment to produce their coffees, teas, and other beverages. Many of the drink sellers in Singapore are either middle-aged or old. Their job as drink sellers are only to sell drinks and cater to customers based on their needs and wants. Very few drink sellers are unaware of how drinks that contain high level of fats and sugar, would affect the human body.

In recent years, the public has been very health conscious and trying to control their intakes of produce. With the changes on having drink sellers to include the Nutrition Labels, customers are able to know how much they should/want to have and they can control the calorie rates. We think that government should at least guide the drink sellers on how to calculate the nutrition of the products as they are not familiar in calculations.

The reason to that, in this case study, the drink sellers are giving too many excuses such as "I do not know how to calculate." "How do I even calculate sugar content in apples?". So with the guidance of the health authorities or nutritionists, drinks sellers would be able to cater to customers with a specific drink selection of their choice.

However, we do think that the drink sellers do not have much advantage on putting the Nutritional Label as they usually will still customize to what customers request.

- The drink sellers wanted to ask customers to put the sugar on their own as there is a wide range of drinks they needed to remember. The effect of the government policy on the drink sellers is pretty challenging as many are not educated on nutritional value. They will have a hard time making the nutritional value label. More people want to stay healthy so they choose more nutritious drinks instead of just ordering.

- For the public, there are more benefits members of the public will be more conscious of whatever they are consuming and better manage their diet. It will be easier for the drinks sellers to ask every time instead customers can just pick which healthier choice of the drink they want. we also can state what type of milk they will be using and the customer can choose on their own. Will even ask customers whether they prefer it to be less sugar instead of them ordering.

Effects -
The Drink sellers:It will be hard for them to comply the government regulations on the nutri-grade system as there no specific guidelines that is drawn out for store owners to follow.

The Public: Due to the lack of knowledge of the general public, different people have differnt thinking of what is healthy for them such as different amount of sugar added into their drinks.What is less for someone may not be the same as others.

Benefits-

The Drink Sellers:There will be more challenges compared to benefit as Fruit Stalls have an option for the customer to mix their ingridients hence that nutritional value of 1 customer drink will be different then other, hence it has different values in each drink and its hard to generalise whether its healthy.
In a business model, promoting nutri-grade allows the stalls owner to generate more revenue and to make awareness on healthy selection.

The Public:Having the option of the desired amount of sugar in their drinks allows them to have a better control in their drinks.

Having to calculate the amount of sugar the drinks that the drink sellers sold are tough for them as they have a wide variety of recipes. Not only that, but most of the drinks also sold at coffeeshops are freshly made, like coffee and fruit juices. If they were to calculate the amount of sugar that is found in their drinks, longer waiting time would be expected, and the public might not be happy about the waiting time as some of them are in a rush to work. Not only that, most of the sellers in coffeeshops are the older generation, which means that they are not well versed in technology, and they might take awhile to learn how to use technology to calculate the amount of sugar in their drinks.

One of the many benefits of having the nutritional label is that the consumers are aware of how much sugar intake they are taking in, which can help them keep track  of their sugar intake per day to maintain a healthier lifestyle.

For the drinks sellers, it can be troublesome for most of them. As we all can see, Coffee shop drinks stall makes coffee base on their "feelings". Even though they have a fix one table spoon of sugar for coffee, but during rush hours, they do it quickly. As we can see some table spoon tend to be more than the others. Hence, it won't be accurate. Same as the fruit juice stall, they do not weigh the fruits before juicing and with lots of combination it will not be accurate. If it is about bottle drinks, there will be more benefit. However drinks stall in coffee shop will have more challenges expected than benefits as stated earlier. Yes consumer will be able to see how much sugar is in their drinks but it will not be accurate.

For the Public, it is definitely more beneficial for them. Reason being is that as people are now choosing drinks with less sweet or for some no sugar. Society are heading towards the healthier direction than before. It can also benefit people with diabetes. As they have to control their sugar intake, this will allow them to know how much sugar are in their drink and whether they are able to have it.

- drink sellers
Drinks seller are getting more aware about the health promotion board and there a slight increase of 70% customers are asking for a healthy option. and will limit the amount of sugar used in each drink
- public
Public have always been health aware and how healthy they want to eat given the fact where the nutrition content in the drinks can defer where they might not be attracted to the amount of sugar used in the drinks especially for people who have health issues.
- benefits
To sum up the debates as our country Covid-19 is slowly lifting and gathering may starts and therefore more people of the public will be dining out more often this actually a benefit in terms of profit to the stores. There is pros and cons to both store and public, as store needed more customer and customer = profit but at the same time cons are most drink store maker are uneducated therefore to actually understand what is the nutrition value or intake per cup might be a problem to them. For public there is a researched proven that 70% are making the change to eat and drink healthy. But, there is still the minority of public still prefer the original taste as they are used to the custom of what they have been drinking as per their lifestyle.

The Drink Sellers:

- Difficult for them to measure out the sugar level in their drinks as they are made to order with different variations of coffee

- Possible method is to create all drinks on default being 0% Sugar, then letting customers add in sugar themselves.
However, this will cause the drinks to be in the unhealthy range still.

- Fruit drink sellers, it is difficult as different fruits have different amount of sugar level even if they are the same type of fruit.
Also, due to the wide range of combinations of drinks customers can order, making a food label for all the fruit drinks is almost impossible.

The Public:

- Some customers will drink more sugar or milk to their drink which makes it difficult to adapt to the new food label system if they are unable to adjust to their "Unhealthy lifestyle"

- Some customers however would be more cautious about their sugar intake if the food labels were implemented because of the alarming percentage of sugar in their drinks which they were not aware of it before.

- Evaporated milk and condensed milk are high in sugar content, however not many people are aware of it and not used to drinking black coffee without evaporated milk or condensed milk, however, coffee shops mainly use condensed milk or evaporated milk as it is a cheaper option.

We think that there are more challenges than benefits if the food labels are implemented referring to the above details

# data[].attributes.body
Drink Seller
- More customers are asking for healthier options
- 70% of consumer ask for lower sugar and no sugar
- Unsure of how much sugar is inside the drink.
- Obtain more challenges as it is an additional step for them to do before selling any beverages. However, beverages such as fruit juices cannot determine the amount of sugar content as fruits are naturally sweet.

The Public
- Obtain for healthier options from Nutri Grade Label
- Able to customize their sugar level they wanted
- Obtain more benefit as they have more privileged to control the sugar content they put. Along the years, the public has gain and to be more health conscious about their own body.

# data[].attributes.body
Effects on drink sellers
- They have to take time to calculate and conclude how much sugar & fat content is in the drinks.
- They need sufficient and proper manpower for this need planning.
- They need more information regarding this as stated in the article.
- Now, they have to be aware of how much sugar or fat content is added into the drinks they make

Effects on the Public
- As different people have different level of sugar preference.
- Prices may increase due to this implementation
- Longer waiting time as specific measurements need to be implemented
- People that are more focused on nutritional values will benefit from this.

We feel that there will be more challenges for both sellers and customers.
For Sellers,
it is a hassle trying to find the proper contents as they will need more time, proper training, more information, etc. They also require more manpower. Sellers also have to choose fruits that reach the requirements.
For Public,
Prices may increase, there will be longer queues, changes in taste and sweetness as drink vendors have to specifically choose the fruits. There will also be lesser varieties of fruit juices as different fruits contain different level of sugar content.
