Seems as though there are as many restaurants willing to comply as those unwilling. The costs, and logistics of such a plan are being fought in every state legislature in the country. As it stands right now, only a few states are complying and have, in place, legislation to this end.
My thoughts are that, until our law makers stop cow towing to the special interest lobbyists, who, for whatever agenda they have, are creating these unreasonable rules about informing people what they are eating when eating out.
It is as if we, (a collective we that is ) are so uninformed about what we eat that the government has to step in to inform us about the perils of eating in restaurants. The information is supposed to make us more informed about what we eat.
Yet, as with everything else, tobacco and alcohol are still widely used, and labeled with statements that tell us how bad the stuff is for us, but these items are still legal, still destroy lives, kill people, and nothing is done about it other than a label. Remember trans fats and the French fryer grease dilemma?
Cities across the nation are creating these ill conceived laws to protect us? HELLO.......
Speaking for myself only, I would think that it is up to me to be informed and knowledgeable about what goes into my body. I do not want, nor do I need to have my city, state, and country impose rules on businesses that are so outlandish and ridiculous, just because it (city, state, country) thinks I am not able to make an informed decision on my own.
This is just another example of American laziness and irresponsibility. I would think that people do not need interference from the government in order to make their own choices. Information is free and easily accessible.
This topic makes me as angry as the Chicago aldermen who succumbed to the PETA people with regard to Foi Gras and enacted a law prohibiting its' sale.
What is this world coming to?
