It's now the law. New York restaurants with 15+ locations across the country now have to post calories. Seattle is next then San Francisco. KVUE.com has a great clip on this article and long term health, it comes down to one thing: Simply think about the food you eat.
Austin nutritionist Deirdre Earls was quoted: “I don’t think calories alone is enough,” she said. “I like the idea of them providing more information and providing calories. However, what I really think would be a public service is in addition to providing calorie information, you also let people know there are genetically modified ingredients. You also take out the trans fats that are directly connected to heart disease, diabetes, obesity." In addition, amazingly fantastic news is from the founder of Zen Japanese Food, Adam Weisberg: “We got all of our recipes tested from an outside company to prove which meals were ‘Heart Smart’ approved, and that was based on sodium, cholesterol, saturated fats, fats, calorie counts,” he said.

This news has given me renewed energy and hope.
There are local restaurants that do care about
the health of their customers.
I was so wrong as I thought Zen was simply fast food.
I'm excited to know about them and will be going there soon!!
