The new law is requiring chain restaurants to post the calories of their items on the menu boards at their restaurant outlets. You may have started seeing this new information popping up even before the mandatory date has arrived. This information can be used to your health advantage. You will now be able to really know what is in the food you’ve been ordering for years. Brace yourself, it may knock your socks off! Portion sizes are often so large that the calories are much higher than expected, even for the healthiest choices.
Please don’t be fooled into thinking you can get more value for your dollar by ordering food with more calories. Some studies are already showing this to be happening. We already have an overweight epidemic in this country. Use the calorie information to help you make wiser choices so you can manage your weight more appropriately.
