NY- USA to have calorie information posted among all chain restaurants

New Yorkers will now be in the know. A new rule requiring all New York chain restaurants to post calorie information on their menus took effect this past Friday. I think that this is great!

In a world where the lack of time, and often bad choices, lead us to food on-the-go, and where obesity, heart disease, diabetes and other health problems have reached scary numbers, revising our food habits is likely to have a positive impact on our lives.

Think about how many people go and pick up a quick lunch and then head back to the office to sit behind a desk and finish out their day. The average fast food burger has over 350 calories and then add that fry and soda… you are well nearing 1200 calories on just lunch alone. Craziness!

Do you wish this would come to a town near you? Do you think it will help in controlling the ever growing obesity and thus diabetes that America has?
