Center for Science in the Public Interest has posted a collection of photos of New York City menu boards with calorie labeling.  Take a look and see what you think of how this requirement is working.

  1. As a dietitian I am personally fully supportive of any attempts to combat obesity, empowering diners with nutrition information so that they can make their own decisions is a great way to start. I do feel for the restaurants who need to have their menus reprinted and are pressed for time as is without turning things upside down with nutrition facts. The company that I work for (www.cookedapple.com) supports restaurants by providing a low cost way for them to have their menus nutritionally analyzed, and takes some of the weight off of the shoulders of restaurant managers and owners.

  2. Most of these images are mock-ups by CSPI.

  3. Mark - not to be nitpicky, but 3 out of 12 isn’t really “most”. There are some other proposed mock-ups by the restaurants themselves, I found the DD one interesting because of the corrections the city made to it, but only 3 are CSPI.
