As someone who is very fit/health consious I don't have a problem with this. Saw the new boards listing the cal. at the McDees drive thru this morning while getting my oatmeal. It's no big deal.

Was surprised at the amount of cal. in some items though..

I agree. Here on FR, though, advocating a healthy lifestyle will get you ostracized.

I stopped in yesterday and it was on the tray mat. I found out if I order a grilled chicken wrap with no dressing (or use Honey Mustard) instead of a double cheeseburger, I can get several plain ice cream sundaes and not feel guilty! I’m lovin’ it.

I'm very "fit/health" consious conscious, too. And I have a very big problem with it. It costs restaurants thousands and thousands of dollars to have the tests done to come up with these calorie counts.

Now, McDonalds can afford that. But what about Joe's Breakfast Wagon? What do you think it does to his bottom line? Might well put him out of business or -- at the least -- seriously affect his living.

And for what? So people can know that a burger with cheese has a really lot of calories? They didn't know that? You think they're going to change their decision because of it?

No one even counts calories anymore [well, except for the ignoramuses who sign up for Weight-Watchers.]

All of these nanny-state regulations that you "don't have a problem with" actually cost real Americans real money! They benefit mega-businesses at the expense of their small, start-up competitors. Did you ever think about that?

You don't have a problem with nanny politicians forcing businesses to spend money on things we already know and which are none of government's damned business.

I do. If you consider yourself a conservative, you should, perhaps, re-examine your premises. You don't sound much like one to me.

It’s called “junk food” for a reason. Calorie counts are superfluous. Only a numbskull would think this stuff is good for you.

Even the salads with chicken strips are high-calorie. Anyone keeping track of the news would know that, however, so again, calorie counts are superfluous.

Oh man. That's a 3-palmer...
