The Debate Continues
Posted on June 25, 2009
“Isn’t information that can help you avoid obesity and diabetes as important as knowing how to wash your blouse?”
– Margot Wootan, director of nutrition policy for the nonpartisan Center for Science in the Public Interest [via here].
From an interesting article from Time about posting nutrition facts on menu boards and menus at fast food restaurants.
It’s different for everybody, but for me, I still like the idea. I want the facts right in my face and I don’t want to have to look for them online or anywhere else. If I’m eating 1,500 calories I want to know it. I don’t want to just pretend that what (or the amount of food) I’m eating is “not that bad” for me when I really know it is.
Both sides to the argument of posting nutrition facts make some good points. I’m a selfish person, though, and I’m in it for me. With that said, I say to all restaurants: Post those numbers!
