Nope. What's going to happen is that the big restaurant are going lobby for changes so ALL restaurants have to disclose calories on their menus. Remember that this isn't a law, it's a directive from the FDA and changes can be made on a dime.

Mom and pop (family restaurants, taverns, food trucks, etc) will shut down, leaving only the McDonalds, Applebees, etc who'll raise their prices to offset the new rule.

I don’t doubt that. They push and push....

“Remember that this isn’t a law, it’s a directive from the FDA and changes can be made on a dime.”

My mistake. Everything is legislated nowadays.

“Mom and pop (family restaurants, taverns, food trucks, etc) will shut down, leaving only the McDonalds, Applebees, etc who’ll raise their prices to offset the new rule.”

Yeah. The only people who suffer are the little people without tons of money to throw at politicians.
