Calorie counts on New York menus not coming after all

After all the hubbub surrounding the installation of calorie counts on New York restaurant menus, they won't be listed on any menu there after all.

A judge did away with the rule yesterday, stating that New York City cannot force restaurants to list calories for menu items. But, therein lies an opportunity.

Restaurants in the Big Apple that want to court health-conscious customers should still proceed with calorie counts on menus, regardless of the now-defunct requirement.

That is, unless, they are afraid of informing their customers about what they are eating.
