British Medical Journal researchers found that only about 15% of people who buy fast food in New York City read the calorie information required on menus. Some chains, like McDonald's, saw a decrease in the number of calories ordered, but Subway restaurants reported the opposite effect, with an average calorie consumption increase of 17.8%.
It's just common sense: if you're dying for a Double Whopper with Cheese or a footlong Steak & Cheese, is a calorie-count sign really going to stop you? I didn't think so. So can the government quit requiring them and move on to more important matters? Again, didn't think so.
