New regulations in the city of New York are forcing fast food giants such as Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell and many others to post the calories on their menus. You have always been able to search the calories online, but now they must be visible in their restaurants. Do you think this is a good or a bad business move?How much would you enjoy eating your Whopper combo if you knew it packed more then 800 calories? Is that the purpose of the legislation, to scare you away from eating a whole combo or to make you more conscious of portion sizes? Personally, it's not worth the hour on the treadmill or elliptical to barely make a dent on 500-600 calories, but there are always alternatives, such as sharing your combo or ordering the hamburger only.
