’s powerful arbiter of public health rules, is considering a plan to make it much harder to avoid the cold, hard numbers by requiring some of New York’s 20,000 restaurants, including outlets of the nation’s fast-food chains, to list calories on menus and on clearly displayed menu boards.”

I think it may be a good idea to list calories on their menus, but at the same time, why should it be the restaurants fault that the consumer is oblivious to their caloric intake? I mean really, isn’t anyone responsible for their own actions anymore? Either way, it was an interesting post…
By the way, since the title includes the terms “Super-Size,” have any of you ever seen this particular scenario: A big, overweight individual walks into a McDonald’s and orders 1 Big Mac, 1 Quarter Pounder and an order of “super-sized fries” with a DIET COKE? Ha-ha! It is like, uh, okay, your meal is 1700 calories or more in food, but you want a “diet” coke. I’m sorry, but that is beyond pathetic. LOL!
I think it’s a good thing that they make them list calorie info on their menus. Knowledge is power.
