Calling all food establishments- NYC will provide nutritional content in chain restaurants

I suppose we can call this baby steps. Though it is really a great big deal for all those living in NYC, we still have a long way to go to get all other areas on the band wagon.

Either way, we know that eating out at restaurants and fast food establishments attributes to obesity and type 2 diabetes, so providing nutritional content seems like a logical step in fighting diabetes.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) applauds today’s federal court ruling upholding a New York City regulation that requires chain restaurants to provide the calorie content of foods on their menus and menu boards. This ruling came in response to a challenge to the regulation filed by the New York State Restaurant Association. The ADA appeared as an amicus curiae along with other public interest organizations and professors supporting the regulation.

We are headed in the right direction!!
