New York City recently passed legislation requiring some restaurant chains to display the calorie counts of foods on menus or menu boards. Do you think this is a good idea? Would seeing the amount of calories in your favorite fast food influence your decision on what to purchase?

It absolutely would influence what I choose on a restaurant menu and I would love to see the information printed on menus outside of New York as well. It is very helpful to know exactly what you are getting when you are ordering, and I think it will also influence the restaurants to provide healthier choices.

I'm in agreement. Do you think the three of us could start a movement? LOL.

A movement - I love it! It would really help a lot of people, but I'm not sure the restaurants would like it.

I would love to see the calories listed.

It seems like I keep reading that more cities and states are talking about requiring calories and other nutrition information to be listed where everyone can see it. I think it's a trend!
