New York City is again trying to get calories listed on menus

Those New Yorkers just won't stop, it seems, when it comes to trying to get calorie counts listed on area restaurant menus. After the effort fizzled this summer, it's now back.

NYC health officials have indicated that they are ready to revive efforts to have caloric information listed on all restaurant menus in order to give patrons informed information about the products they are eating.

Logistically speaking, this has to be hard to do. From an informed consumer perspective, I believe this effort to be worth everything. We can't make decisions without all relevant information at hand, and every time we eat out, we're eating in the dark (so to speak).
