Wasn’t there a study out that said to the effect that even though all these nutritionals are plastered everywhere people ate the same?

This mandate would just be for chains - guess there aren’t any calories in ‘fine dining’ establishments...hmmm, so now Ruth Chris’ and the like are getting slapped with this one?

Nutritionals take all the creativity out of cooking - just belly up to the table for your soylent green portions.

You are correct, there was a study that showed posting nutritional information had no effect on what people ate. I expect that will continue to be the case.

Most of us know what is and is not healthy, for the most part. We just don't always make the "right" choices.

That should be our right.

I'm a nonsmoker and don't like being around cigarette smoke. I don't, however, need the government to "help" me by forcing businesses to ban smoking. Let business owners elect to be smoking or nonsmoking establishments and let me decide whether or not to spend my money there.

Tell me about it.

I love to cook and I love to experiment with my cooking. I try to plan healthy, well balanced meals, but I'm not anal about it. I love a big mess of fish and chips, or fried chicken, and I make killer cream sauces --- but it is all a matter of balance and moderation. Heck I've got chicken marinating in coconut milk right now :)
