In 2011, every major fast food restaurant you go to will have nutritional information both inside the restaurant and on the drive-thru.

This is part of the health care legislation that President Obama just signed yesterday. That means customers might want to think twice before eating a Big Mac that contains 540 calories, which is already more than a quarter of the 2000-calorie daily guideline from the Agricultural Department. That also counts for vending machines, so someone who wants to buy a king size Snickers Bar knows that this unhealthy snack contains 440 calories. While not all the customers will pay attention or care about these nutritional labels, it will help some of them to be aware of what are you eating. After all, more than 1/2 of the money Americans spend on food is outside of their home.



By the way, would you rather have a big fat greasy burger up there OR
a nice fresh healthy apple down here? :)



You decide.
