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.

Headline DS - "Jet Apparently Collides With Birds..."

"Jet Apparently Collides With Birds, Lands in Hudson River in N.Y." is actually the sub-headline of an article entitled "Passengers Survive Crash" in the Express for January 16, 2009. The only reason I can make a joke is because everyone made it out safely. In my head, I imagined the jet and the birds facing off like the Jets and Sharks in West Side Story, most likely because I just saw the National Theater production of the musical. It's also likely my brain is not quite ripe yet. Distributed by Tubemogul.
