It's bogus. More gooberment interference and dictatorship.Originally Posted by catherine
You can pile all of the lettuce greens that you want on a dish made with multiple cheeses, walnuts, croutons, cranberries & etc. and call it "salad" but guess what--it's still a 1,000 calorie salad. I don't need a goon from D.C. to tell me that.
Mainly, I can't imagine how small restaurants that produce each day dishes that are different come up with calorie counts. I hope there is some relaxing of the rules for independents who don't churn out the same drek each day. Kills creativity and ability to use what is fresh that day.
But I have to confess that I do use the nutrition information on the back of packaged foods and that is a Nanny state mandate, so sure, I've benefited from some of it. But enough already.
