Not for me. I figure if I'm eating at a fast food restaurant, I've already pretty much given up on eating healthy for that meal.

I had an egg McMuffin this morning. It was 300 calories. I wish I hadn't looked.

I notice a pattern here. Why is it that all us Patch editors are obsessed with food?

Fast food junkie here ... Thank goodness there was no nutrition information on the Krystal stop that I made yesterday. Totally worth it.

Is this leading to a CPB (Calories per Bite)? I see a new branch of the FDA now forming to regulate the CPB's limit a restaurant can offer. Throw in a 300 million dollar study to determine the average bite size of Americans and you have yourself a typical government agency!

I am with Gail, I hope Krystal doesn't follow suit, of course I could be with Kristi R. a chicken finger sandwich meal on toast sounds good too! Maybe I am just hungry...

Who cares... I eat what I want. And while it might not be the best thing for me, I certainly don't need big brother to manage what I decide to eat. Is this nonsense EVER going to stop? How did we get along for all these years without big brother??? Geez
I feel REALLY bad for all the younger people in this country. Pretty soon they're going to tell you when to go to the bathroom, how many hours to sleep, when and where you can eat.
This country is going downhill so fast it makes my head spin.

NYC Health department today passed a law banning movie theaters, restaurants, concession stands etc from selling drinks over 16-ounces. I can see a whole new black market springing up here - high calorie bootlegging.

Posted calorie counts have been shown over the years to have almost no impact on what or how much people order, nor should they. Nutritional labels of ALL kinds are, by and large, almost useless as anything other than a very general guide.

For instance, let's say you stop into your local "Dessert Queen" to grab your fave, a large Choco-Blast Deluxe, posted calorie count: 550. That particular dessert you are served could have anywhere from 300 - 800 calories, and the rest of the nutritional 'facts' might be even further off. It's not because the sign or company is lying to you, it's because of the random nature of the food beast: every large Choco-Blast Deluxe is not identical. It cannot be identical in any way other than types of ingerdient. The exact composition often varies greatly from serving to serving.

This is true for ALL nutritional labels, btw, so even though some foods vary less than others, the important thing to remember is that they DO all vary. While the actual contents may be known for certain, the exact amount and concentration of those ingredients is unknowable beyond a certain point.

Bottom line: the nutritional labels are a general guide, nothing more. Requiring them by law or ordinance is nothing more than a de facto government subsidy to sign companies.

All, I know is, if they put a sign up in KEBA's, I'M NOT LOOKING!

I'm with you Larry!!! :-)) Sometimes it's all about the atmosphere. :-)
