Calorie Counts Mandatory by 2011

Written by Pat's Papers | Wednesday, 24 March 2010 9:53 AM

With all the back and forth about health care reform, it’s hard to know exactly how the legislation will affect the average American. Well, the New York Times has a concrete example of something that will change for everyone. The bill that President Obama signed yesterday requires all the nation’s fast food chains to post calorie counts on their menus. It’s a system we already have in New York and one that I think works well. I can’t think of a better way to get someone to give a Big Whopper habit than shocking them with its nutritional stats.
