[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Order broiled fish instead of fried.  Get the steamed vegetables instead of the au gratin potatoes.  Order a salad instead of the broccoli cheese soup.  [b]It’s not hard, people[/b].[/quote]

You think they’re keeping it a secret from you?  You know all these do-gooder requirements COST MONEY, don’t you?  You can’t look at a menu and figure out that an order of fries has more calories than the apple slices?  Please.  This is what people are talking about when they say that regulation stifles business.  The costs of every little do-good measure are killing businesses.

Of course the industry doesn't want to do it! It's expensive and guess what? It turns people off when they realize that the restaurant is serving such grotesque unhealthy portions that an appetizer is over 1,000 calories. For those of us who aren't corporate shills, we actually appreciate regulations that are in the interest of public health.  [/quote]

Studies show that most people don’t eat differently.  It’s just another feel good measure.[/quote]
