“This will shut down family restaurants and the vending machine business.”

I’m not sure if this is true, but I heard that the law only applies to restaurant chains that have 20 or more locations. Even if it is, it’s still messed up. Anybody who really cares about calorie counting certainly won’t go out to eat very often, if at all.

Nope. What's going to happen is that the big restaurant are going lobby for changes so ALL restaurants have to disclose calories on their menus. Remember that this isn't a law, it's a directive from the FDA and changes can be made on a dime.

Mom and pop (family restaurants, taverns, food trucks, etc) will shut down, leaving only the McDonalds, Applebees, etc who'll raise their prices to offset the new rule.
