450 calories for $1

FOOD FIGHT

I see that

A federal appeals judge on Wednesday delayed the enforcement of new [New York C]ity rules requiring calorie counts to be posted alongside prices in some restaurants ... The rules had been scheduled to take effect on Saturday.

The delay was sought by the New York State Restaurant Association, which lost its challenge of the new rules in Federal District Court in Manhattan last week.

As one who has severely cut down on his caloric intake in the last 5½ months, I just can't see what harm it would do to post calories in restaurants—they're certainly easily accessible on the Internet. (Because of my winter schedule, this site and this one are in my Web browser's bookmarks.)

Posting such information might decrease sales somewhat, but it's certainly not like downloading shared files, which can be harmful economically.

It's pretty easy to see how indifferent the New York State Restaurant Association is regarding the health of its customers.
