I think it's great. I want to be able to make as informed a decision as possible.
Because it tastes gross? LOL Only kind of joking. I detest the flavor of anything alcoholic...wine, liquor, and beer is barely tolerable. The only thing it adds to food, for me, as a nasty taste. But that's just me and I admit I'm weird.
I think its great for informational purposes, but I hardly think it will make any difference to help with the overweight/obesity problem here. We already have all of that info displayed on every food package in the store and in our home, yet people still buy and eat it without thought.
I can't say that I'm happy, because I do not want to know how many calories are in a Carrot Cake Cookie, but I do think it's a good thing.
When ice cream marketed as dessert have more calories then a daily needs of growing teen
when starbucks started adding it is when I stopped ordering from there, was quite a shock when I was happily living in blissful ignorance
Just wondering here but why alcohol? When alcohol is cooked, it's burned off so you would just be getting the flavor of the bourbon or what is used.
Just wondering is there any proof that this actually lets people make better choices?

It's good.
If I needed to be totally shielded from reality when ordering, they'd have to take the prices off, too.
Because that's a misconception. People say it 'burns off' because they heard it somewhere, but it's been proven time and time again that it's not. Cooking for very long periods (hours) will burn off a certain percentage, but never the whole thing, especially when a dish is cooked for about 15 mins or so at the parks.

I strictly avoid alcohol even in foods, so that's also soy sauce, teriyaki, bourbon, any alcoholic sauces in desserts, béarnaise sauce.... it's in a lot of places. If people are told whether something has gluten, eggs or wheat, I deserve to know if something has alcohol (plus people of certain religions, recovering alcoholics, people with health limitations like me...)
Just wondering is there any proof that this actually lets people make better choices? Like I said the city I live in already requires this by law and I can honestly say it has done 0 to change habits. Now people just know what they are eating is bad for them and they ignore it. I'm not judging anyone for that because I fall into that category. It is great for people who already care about what they put in their bodies but it isn't going to suddenly make those who don't care and change their habits.

You're welcome?
Is that true? If it is, that's not actually that bad. That cookie is huge and I picked at it for like, 3 days

You picked at it for three days?? I would have devoured it in about 33 seconds.
I found that number on a fitness-related site. Take it with a grain of salt...er, well, sugar.
I don't care whether or not they put it on the menus, but I'd love to have it available in the app or on the website. I've lost over 30 pounds this year just from counting calories, and while I can make educated guesses using resources like CalorieKing, it would be more accurate to have that info provided. It'd be nice to get all the other info as well - carbs, sodium, etc.
Folks are still free to order that ~1100 calorie turkey leg if they want it, after all.
This is about whether it's displayed on menus, not available by asking. And servers don't always know which ingredients actually contain alcohol - trust me on that one.Have you ever been denied that information when asked? I would assume if something is cooked in alcohol even for if for deglazing the chef would know. If we started listing every single intolerance or dietary restriction on a sign the signs would be too large and cluttered to order from.
