“YOU VILL POST ZE CALORIESS ON ZE MENUSS!” thundered Herr Chief Justice Fuhrer Johann Roberts.

Or something like that.

Nanny State PING!

I post on the largest body building site in the world-6 million forum members worldwide and I can tell you 99% of the people still figure daily calorie calculations in their daily meal program but we go one step further and figure out the good cals vs the bad ones along with protein/good carbs and good fat calculations.

Why calorie counting is decreasing in importance in diet programs is because most people are ignorant and under calculate what they are actually eating or don't have the discipline to keep track of everything they eat on a daily basis.

hey tolerance you do know small mom and pop restaurants are exempt from this ruling don't you and many large restaurants have already been posting calorie info on their menues for years now????

Not everything the gov't mandates is bad or wrong.. 35+ years ago before the federal pension vesting rules, co's would fire people a few months shy of their retirement date so they would not have to pay out the pension. No we have vesting rules regarding pensions. My grandfather was in the pension business and saw this happen.

Many people including (gasp)conservatives look at food labels(calories/protein/sodium) in stores when making food choices and are glad it is labeled and use the information.
