The visual appearance of food is an important attribute when people choose food. This paper aims to examine the impact of visual aesthetics on the consumer’s perception of a healthy and tasty meal. The paper consists of two empirical researches, which includes survey and experimental research. The survey results indicate the connection between the visual appearance of meals and the consumer’s perception of health and tasty meals. The experimental research compare consumer expectations about the meal taste based on its visual appearance, and actual consumer experience after tasting that meal. The results show that there are differences in consumer expectations, based on visual aesthetics and they should assist the hospitality and tourism business from acknowledging how the visual aesthetics of food can influence consumers’ food choice decisions. This can be an effective technique for hospitality and tourism companies in attracting consumers and increasing their loyalty.

Homo economicus Adam Smith and the tendency of man to the violation of moral and social norms in order to achieve their own prosperity resulted in hypertrophy of corruption that equally affects all societies regardless of their level of development. Looking at the global level today, there is no society that is not contaminated by corruption. As a phenomenon of modern times appears in different forms and with different intensity but always distorts value systems. However, corruption is most prevalent where the laws are vague and conflicting with each other, where there is great discretion in public administration, where the mechanisms for monitoring and control of power weakens, or, in countries where the judiciary is inefficient and largely dependent on the impact of executive power holders. It is a serious global problem testifying research conducted by Transparency International, according to which of the 177 analyzed countries and territories of two-thirds of a Corruption Perception Index below 50. For many years, corruption in Serbia occupies the first place on the list of social problems. Prevention and eradication of corruption, organized and time-consuming process requires the definition of anti-corruption legislation and legal measures, non-selective application of the law to all forms of abuse of entrusted power and zero tolerance to corruption of society.
