Here in NYC, places like Starbucks and movie theaters are required to list the calories on what they sell. I know it's really affected what I buy. Eight hundred calories for a lousy dish of movie nachos? Fuggedaboutit.

yeah, they still fight it because they try to get away with using small serving sizes to fool people. it's appalling when you read some labels and realize what you're eating.
tony and i were on vacation, and spent a few days at disney world (i do NOT recommend anyone go there, it is a horrible, horrible place)...we each got a pretzel and cheese dip as a snack. i took a bite, and all i could taste was salt. looked at the cheese cup label-that cheese had 20% of your sodium intake for the day. ugh!


and liquor doesn't have labels-for now.

In the '60s they were against even listing ingredients.

I'm with you about Disney. Everything is very clean, very well designed and very fake.
