Health advocates believe that when people see the amount of calories, fat and salt in meals before they order them, they will gravitate to more healthful selections.

Oh BS. They just want to harass big successful companies.

Mark my words, if they get this through, they will up the ante ... next will be govt control of what restaurants can serve.

Bye bye to the Buffet, the Huge rack of ribs etc.
