“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.” ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Don’t think for one second it wasn’t designed to be legally vague and confusing.

They want it to be a vehicle for massive torts by shyster lawyers looking to redistribute wealth to obama’s homies and others. They want this to cripple the economy.

They hate people eating pizza and all the money that people still spend on food they like to eat. Proles cannot be allowed to enjoy food like the obamas and their children do.

More businesses with three fingers poking up out of the water...

Goal attained!

States to Obama Admin: Calorie Rule is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and we will ignore and nullify the regulation.

All of ObamaCare is “unworkable”.

Not just the demand to post calories, but all 11,000 pages of that worthless and damaging garbage is “unworkable”.

Does Burger King have to include segregated and itemized caloric information for each and every sandwich they sell, itemized by ingredient/topping information? How many different combinations are possible with a hamburger (or pizza)? Throw a couple of different types of crust, sauces, and a dozen or more toppings and the number grows exponentially.

And in reality - if someone is too stupid to have a clue as to the nutritional value (or lack thereof) of their slice of pizza or burger - then how is some government regulation going to help that? This is just another case of radical nanny-state regulations.

Its the same mentality that has an ever-growing list of labeling requirements on nearly any substance or product sold - so much so that packaging has to grow just to have room to fit it all, even with tiny,practically- illegible printing...

What part of “this product is a poison” requires pages of text on a can of bug spray?

Why do hair dryers have to have massive tags warning consumers to not use them in the shower or bath?

Sigh...

Hey, they believe in freedom. It’s just that the freedom they’re talking about is the freedom of the government to rule every aspect of their citizens’ lives.

Difficult and expensive is no big deal to the feds, just do it.

Heck, they told the gasoline suppliers that had to include more cellulose ethane than existed available in the global market, then fined them for not including it.

> Domino’s offers is 34 million. Pizza Hut has 2 billion possible combinations.

Give everyone an equal ration of gruel. That would make things a lot simpler than all this freedom.

“The final Obamacare regulation forcing restaurant chains to display calorie information...”

Obamacare? What exactly does calorie info on a restaurant menu have to do with “health care reform”?

Damn statists.

They're going to need a bigger menu.

any adult who needs to be told that Pizza is not known as a “low calorie” food, can’t be helped much with anything else in life

Good. Of course the fascists will do what they always do, but it’s good to see a human decide to not be a sheep.

How does a state assist a multi-state company to disengage from the federal government and financially protect it when a fed act unconstitutionally threatens to penalize the company economically?

For all the concerned health nut folks demanding these nutrition guides in "convenience food" places:

What are you doing in a pizza joint anyway?

The good news is that people will be able to come together around a pizza again because these companies will be forced to limit themselves to just a few choices.

No more whiny "Can we have half of the pizza without onions?" or "I don't want any meat" or "I don't want any veggies". It'll be more like "I guess we'll have the pepperoni and mushroom."
