NYC fast food restaurants to post calorie counts on menu boards?

Posted on Aug 7th 2007 8:10PM by Martha Edwards
A rule instituted by the New York Restaurant Association that would require certain fast food establishments to list the calories each item has in bold letters next to the price of the item isn't going to be followed by many NYC eateries. Burger King, McDonald's and Wendy's have said they won't be posting calorie counts -- doing so will be confusing to people visiting the restaurant, as the menus will contain too much information. Such menus would be an eyesore.

I find that fast food menu boards are already confusing, and I agree that adding the calorie count them will make them more mind-boggling than they already are. But at the same time, I think providing the calories alongside the price is a fantastic idea. What do you think?
