A novel idea. How will this affect the eating habits of customers? Will looking at the calories influence u in what u purchase in restaurants or fast-food places? Will u cut down yr intake to decrease yr calories or will u simply purchase the same as b4 (even when looking at the calorie sheet)? How will this affect the fast-food/restaurant industry? Will their sales go down? What do u think?

Do u agree with the trans-fat ban they r proposing?

How effective do u think this anti-obesity campaign measure will be? Should all states be doing this?

It should never be the government's place to dictate what you can and can not eat nor should it be their place to dictate to restaurants and fast food places to display a calorie charts.Anybody with at least a ounce of common sense knows that fast food in general is unhealthy.If a restaurant or fast food place wants to post calorie information than that should be their business.
