Calorie counts while eating out?!?!?!

Submitted by Greg on Fri, 2009-10-09 11:20

So picture this, you are at your favourite fast food joint, or fine dining place, and....gasp!!!!! CALORIE COUNTS ON THE MENU!!! The horror! Doesn't that infringe on my personal right to caloric ignorance?
That is the situation in some states across the US. Doing some research I found two contradicting news stories about wether it affects food choices.

It does affect food choices, courtesy MSNBC News

So what do you think? I personally think IT WOULD effect my choices. If I saw that something I was going to order weighed in at a hefty 1400 calories, let's say. And something else came in at a slim 800 calories...then 800 calorie meal, you win! But I say that now, sitting at the computer. Put me in the real life situation, I might be a flip flopper!!!
