I do believe it.
You have to say NO CHEESE OR DRESSING when ordering vegetables if you're calorie counting.

That is the same argument that Liberals make against Michael Powell and the FCC's crackdown on indecency..."if you don't like what's on, change the channel"

It's a bad argument then, and it's a bad argument in this case. Bottom line is, if I'm paying someone for a product that's going inside my body, I have the right to know the contents.

Iowa Senator Tom Harkin (D) and Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D) plan to re-introduce bills requiring chain restaurants with more than 20 outlets to list calorie counts either on menu boards or printed menus."

Who the hell are these mutants? They need to be locked in a small room with some alphabet blocks. Let 'em spell out some words, call it "legislation."
