If you've been in New York recently, you've probably noticed restaurant calorie counts posted for the food. And an overwhelming majority of people are fans of the calorie counts, with many people ordering less food or going to new, more healthful eateries altogether.

Now, the UK is taking a cue from NYC, and plans to implement calorie posting in restaurants there. The United Kingdom's Food Standards Agency did a survey of 2000 adults, finding that 85 percent thought eateries should make the nutrition information on their foods available at point of sale.

No law is being passed (yet), but the agency is asking "brave" restaurants to voluntarily post calorie counts for a six-month trial run. The thing is, I can't imagine most fast food-type restaurants doing this voluntarily, especially considering how many people admitted they ordered less and went elsewhere -- restaurants are businesses, after all.

Still, wouldn't it be great if all eateries offered this information on the menu? I know it would help me out!
