I am all for adding calorie counts to menus! Personally, I like to have a lot more information about the foods I eat, so I really would have liked it if they took it one step further and required the restaurants to provide full nutrition facts about the foods they serve. Obviously, posting a full nutrition label on a menu for every item is not really feasible, but is it too much to ask to have it posted on a website or perhaps in a paper handout available separately in the restaurant? I guess a small step is better than nothing at all, but as a previous poster noted, nutritious high calorie foods are better than nutrient-bankrupt low calorie foods!

Haha! I think you just confused me all the more.

I keep thing simple with this diet: the less you eat, the more weight you lose. Never mind counting calories.

I try to be diligent with my diet, but it really does get tiring watching what you eat all the time. I read this article about hidden fat http://sn.im/uxplk and it kind of woke me up! I didn’t realize I was getting fat without my knowing it.

People should know what they’re putting in their bodies, so I’m all for calorie labeling. I read this article about hidden fat http://sn.im/uxplk and it kind of made me feel betrayed. I’m very conscious about what I eat, so when I discover that I just ate something I didn’t want to, that makes me feel cheated.

[...] While the rhetoric is still hot, more and more of the actual details of what is actually in the health care bill – excuse me, law – have emerged. One good tidbit worth noting, calorie labeling for large chain restaurants. Marion Nestle at Food Politics has the details. [...]

I think we can go into requiring the nutrition facts to be shown but it won’t guarantee a sense of responsibility on the drinker/eater…
Yes I go for trying anyhow.. at least we did our part in telling people not to abuse thier bodies…

@Meredith. The reason you do not see nutrition information on beer, wine, and liqour is that their labels are regulated by the TTB not the FDA, and the TTB does not require nutrional labeling. There has been talk about nutritional labeling on alcoholic beverages, but there has been a lot of arguement in the industry about what would constitute a standard serving, not surprisingly, this has slowed things down. An interesting thing to note is that some alcoholic beverages, like wines below 7% ABV (typically wine coolers), do not fall under TTB jurisdiction and thus have to conform to FDA nutrional labeling guidelines.
