Fast Food Menus

Filed under: Food

The New York City Board of Health unanimously voted to make chain restaurants (more than 15 locations) post calorie numbers on their menu boards.

The New York Restaurant Association sued to stop it from happening, but lost. It seems like they might have an argument that this law should be for all restaurants. Is there some special logic to only forcing chain restaurants to displaying the unappetizing information? Aren't your arteries being clogged if you eat a Big Mac (540 calories, 29 grams of fat) or a burger from a restaurant with one (or 14 for that matter) stores?
