This will raise the cost of eating out..who cares how may calories...this will
New York City, which adopted menu labeling in 2008, did its own study of purchases at about 170 of the city’s top fast food chains and found that one in six customers used the calorie information. Those who did bought about 100 fewer calories than customers who did not see or use it.
You don’t need public trough feeding nanny staters to tell you this.
Pizza is high calorie and no one in his right mind wants to know the calorie count. You know it is high and either you burn it off (exercise) or eat less of other things.
Doesn’t seem that hard. Just itemize it and make a table.
Crust size, Sauce, Cheese, and each ingredient.
For those who are interested, they can do some math. Since very few customers actually use this data, this is more of a Gov’t requirement than anything else. Just do like McDonalds and make a table and put it on the back of the placemat or menu.
How about a generic warning label that states ‘eating too much pizza can make you fat’.
The wheels are falling off our country and we are worried about this? Please...
Gosh. Wouldn’t it be simple for a Calorie totalizer to be added to an on line order form?
Why, any mom and pop pizza parlor should be required to instal a Calorie Kiosk™ (at their own expense, of course!) in their restaurant to provide walk-in customers the same data their rich computer owning customers get. To deny the poor would be racist, wouldn’t it?
Call in orders? The same register that gives the total cost could easily give the total Calories, it should be a felony to not tell the customer before the order is placed!
If it keeps just one child from becoming obese, it will all be worth it...
This is a joke.
I was a Pizza Hut cook many years ago. In theory, we were supposed to weigh the toppings (or optionally count the pepperoni). In reality, when it was busy, we just put the toppings on.
So, yeah, the oil (pan pizza), dough and sauce will be pretty uniform (one ladle for small, two for medium, three for large), but the cheese, meats and veggies? Not so much.
Eating too much pizza will make you fat. Story at 11.
Good grief. They need to put labels on gay dudes butts then. “Sticking someothing in here is very bad for you.”
Certainly worse for you than a large pizza with extra cheese.
There is no reason at all they can’t post the calories of a plain cheese pizza (in the different sizes and then with thin and regular crust) and then show how much calories are in a layer of double cheese on the aforementioned. Once they do that, they could easily list approximations for the toppings...it wouldn’t be THAT hard. Sheesh...you’d think they were trying to map the human genome they way they talk.
Chipolte already has calorie counts on the menu boards for each item you can select. It is a range since everything is hand assembled and thus allowing for variations in the actual amount in a scoop of an item.
Pizza should be just as easy...
The same government with a budget $1.5 trillion per year in deficit, wants to count the calories in pizzas.
Government at all levels has far too much money, giving them resources to delve into too many topics, and power to do so.
Has anybody in modern history ever waddled into a fast food or pizza joint and said “Heck, that’s a lot of calories, I’ll pass”?
The federal government has no authority to do this anyhow.
MIND YOUR OWN F'ING BUSINESS!!!!

Government meddling in the private sector taken to moronic new lows.
Isn’t there anything - anytbing at all - into which these noisome busybodies won’t stick their irritating noses?
