I can just imagine the carnage at the cheescake factory. It will also look rather ghey from a menu layout point of view.
cheescake factory! link says 200....maybe 20? who knows....I eat there once in a blue moon...maybe every other month.
Just to clarify "Waah I don't want to think about how many burgers I could have eaten instead of this piece of cheesecake"
Once again, our government trying to look out for us. A nice thought, but another step toward a nanny state.
Perhaps not consciously. Salads on menus, especially chicken Caesars and the like, can have surprisingly huge calorie totals. So can meals geared towards children. Besides, many of these chains are already putting low-cal, low-carb sections on their menus. The changeover will hardly be noticeable. The more information unhidden the better.
If you stop treating adults like children, then they'll perhaps behave like adults. More information is great, but not when it's mandated.
