The love affair the nation has with fast food is not over. One may be tempted to think that the only buyers are teens and kids screaming for happy meals, but rushed adults in need of a quick meal frequent fast food establishments. That being the case there is controversy going on regarding providing the nutritional information of these items. New York City recently won a court challenge and fast food restaurants will list the calorie counts of foods on their menu.

I for one welcome this. If you purchase a latte, and you have to choose between 120 calories vs. 340 calories, at least if you select the higher count item, you know what is in it know. As the old saying goes, knowledge is power. Calorie count info is a tool that can help one to spread out their daily quota in a more balanced way.
