Know some people might argue that governments shouldn't mandate what businesses do too tightly, but I don't think providing information about a product for consumers is a bad thing.
For example, my husband recently purchased a prepackaged salad from a grocery store only to find out that it the two servings he ate totaled 800 calories. Ouch.
Why shouldn't consumers have information made available to them that allows them to choose healthy options?
And frankly, most of the people I know consider dining out a 'splurge' in both money and calories, so they may not be so concerned about what they're eating.
Think something like this might come in handy for people who have certain health conditions such as diabetes and need to keep a closer eye on what they eat.
