Headline DS Edition #31 - Court Upholds Calorie Rule

http://www.headlineds.com -- "Court Rejects Challenge to Calories-on-Menu Rule" comes from the February 18, 2009 edition of the Express. A New York court upheld a rule that requires certain restaurants to post calorie information on their menus. I think that while it's everyone's right to eat whatever they want, consumers also have the right to make informed decisions. In most situations, nutritional information regarding restaurant food isn't readily accessible at the time of purchase. Posting calorie counts on menus gives consumers access to information that will directly impact their quality of life. Distributed by Tubemogul.
