I just ate half a pizza by myself. Still not fat. Still here. Didn't wish for any labels.
Libs always like to pretend that all of these policies and laws are "for the good of the people".
Here's an idea: Get the government OUT of healthcare, and then leave me, and everyone else, the F alone when it comes to what they eat or drink. Then you don't have to worry one bit about paying for my health care. (Funny how the libs don't want to spend money when it's their own...)
And have the decency to take the marijuana cigarette out of your mouth before you start dictating how people live.
Hasn't this been around for years for chains with over a certain number of locations?
I don't eat at chains much but a few times when that was the only option seeing the information did influence my choice. Plenty of the entrees were a day's worth of calories for me. Also remember stopping at a Starbucks for am afternoon coffee and thinking about getting a small snack, then realizing the stuff I was looking at was over 400 calories. Not worth it.
If I were out for a splurge, I would put my finger over the information!

How the hell is giving consumers information on the food they are eating dictating how people live??
As an avid calorie counter, I like this. There are no "fattening foods", but there are fattening *quantities* of food. For the most part a person can google an estimate of what X food has in regards to calories/protein/carbs/fats but sometimes it's hard to tell. This will help greatly if you're on a calorie budget and want to know more precisely what you're putting in your mouth.
Another factor to take in to consideration...how costly is it to comply with this regulation? I assume a restaurant with 20+ locations knows the quantities and sources of food they put in to their products. Is it really that hard to calculate the nutrition info? Perhaps it is, but I don't see it.

Certain areas require it, and some chains have previously provided the information. This basically just expands on it to make it nationwide for those with 20 or more stores nationwide.

See, there you go, thinking like a rational person ! You have to remember, this is Trump Land, where everything is upside down and backwards.
So, Government trying to help us live better lives = BAD ! I know this new thinking is hard to understand, but it is easier if you just reverse every sensible thought you have in your head. Works for Trumpees !

People have thought it was "nanny state" with many of these laws. Smoking bans, e-cigarette usage limitations, cell phones while pumping gas, etc. these laws have ALL been called "nanny state" laws. This existed for YEARS before Trump. Trump just rallied people behind this cause too much government" much more easily. However this stops when it comes to abortion or sodomy with many of these Evangelical voters. #Hypocrites
