I see where chain restaurants in New York city are now required to publish calorie counts on their menus and other cities such as San Francisco and Seattle are considering similar action.
New York City seems to be in a tug-of-war with the People's Republic Of California to see which can be the biggest nanny of 'em all. Most anti-smoking laws, among others, have their genesis on the Left Coast, but New York is playing catch-up -- banning trans-fats in restaurants, and now this.
OK, it's good to know how many calories you're scarfing down at Mickey D's, but does the government have to dictate it?
