U.S. NATIONAL NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online A 540-calorie Big Mac? NY chains post calorie info July 19, 2008 6:06 AM NEW YORK It could be an alarming wake up call for fast-food junkies in New York City. The city's fast-food chains have started to comply with a first-of-its-kind rule requiring them to post calorie counts on their menus. The rule took effect in May, but legal action has delayed enforcement until now. The rule means those who prefer a burger and fries to fruits and veggies in the Big Apple will have trouble avoiding the nutritional facts about their food choice. At McDonalds, a Big Mac, medium fries and a medium soda equals 1,130 calories. While at Dunkin' Donuts, a single sausage, egg and cheese croissant packs 630 calories. The new rules are an effort to combat obesity. Chains in New York City face penalties of up to $2,000 per store for not posting calorie information. |
