Let's face it - with 68% of adults being either overweight or obese in US, and similar numbers home the general population is not the best to ask should calories be displayed or not. For the good of growing kids it simply should be in your face clear. When ice cream marketed as dessert have more calories then a daily needs of growing teen and if the parents are in the 68% that struggle with their own weight, that teen needs to see that this isn't the calorie of meal ending but what should they eat for the day
Great news I hope they fully update in all counter service locations
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.
some do, some don't. I always read the labels and doing my shopping. 100% of the time
That's totally fine - the information should be there so people can make more educated choices. I wish they would show 2 other things which are missing in menus:
1) Sugar content. This can be a terrible thing, more so than calories.
2) Whether food contains alcohol. They often list allergens but alcohol is one and should be clarified. I always have to ask.
I'm glad to have it. I can decide to spluge on one meal or treat, and then eat a bit healthier later on.
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.
