(CNSNews.com) – Restaurant chains with 20 or more stores would be required to display nutrition information, including calorie counts and “suggested daily caloric intake” on their menus, under a mandate contained in the health-care reform bill drafted by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.

Come to Mexico, you can eat in the streets in a taco stand, you might even be eating dog meat. We’re free.

First, info only.

Next, smaller portions.

Next, ban certain foods altogether.

Step by step.

Is the new tactic to generate multiple divergent drafts, and hope the opposition confuses themselves to death?

We've had nutrition labels on nearly every grocery store product made since 1995. Why aren't we thin yet?

Nobody has been given more access to nutrition information than Oprah Winfrey. Every bite she has taken for the past 25 years has been analyzed by experts and debated in public. Entire industries have risen and fallen because Oprah changes her diet every six months or so.

Nobody in their life was more obsessed over their body image than Michael Jackson. He was skinny as a rail his whole life. Didn't do him one bit of good, either.

This is crazy! Give a bureaucrat a position of power, and they want to play Napoleon. So at some point they will outlaw french riches as a dangerous substance and at the same time legalize marijuana as a benign substance.

I would like to know what I am eating.

[ari-freedom]

hmm I don’t think I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant with 20 or more except for dunkin donuts.

This is not difficult to estimate if one is honest.
