Last year, New York began requiring restaurants to include calorie counts on menu boards.
That means everything. At Starbucks, it even lists the calorie count for regular, drip coffee at "5." Spending the week here in NY (yes, that's why the post count has been low at Franklin Avenue), I actually began to appreciate this. Do I really want that "reduced fat" coffee cake at Starbucks? Now I know, it's 450 calories. So no, no I don't.
Should we bring this trend to L.A.? It reminds me of a comment the Militant Angeleno left in a post below -- we're a town devoted to hamburgers, etc., so why do we still have this "healthy eating" rep?
