Would you reconsider your lunch order if you knew the number of calories in that bacon cheeseburger or chili fries?
WE RECENTLY DINED AT APPLEBEES IN MEDFORD OREGON AND NOTICED THEY POSTED CALORIES ON THEIR MENU, THEY TOLD US SINCE APPLEBEES IS A CALFORNIA CORPORATION AND CALIFORNIA REQUIRES CALORIES BEING POSTEN
APPLEBEES DECIDED TO DO THAT IN ALL LOCATIONS.
WE THINK THIS IS A GREAT THING AND HOPE OREGON WILL REQIRE CALORIES BEING POSTED ON MENUS SO WE CAN ALL MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES.

California legislators are counting on it.
California's latest effort against obesity takes effect today: Chain restaurants with 20 or more locations have to provide brochures listing the nutrition information about their foods. That's the first phase of California's new menu labeling law.
Nearly 16 million Californians are obese or overweight, and many suffer from diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.

Multnomah County Oregon officials have tried to increase informed customers of calorie counters. However the county's menu labeling law has been held up because of some federal regulations.
In the meantime, Starbucks in Oregon as well as Applebees will display calorie counts next to each item on all their menu.
We call on the Oregon State Legislators to enact Oregon law, requiring chain restaurants to post on menus and menu boards the food items calories, then the consumer can make an informed decision, simple as that.

Diners will have to wait a little longer to find calorie counts on most restaurant chain menus, in supermarkets and on vending machines.
Writing a new menu labeling law "has gotten extremely thorny," says the head of the Food and Drug Administration, as the agency tries to figure out who should be covered by it.
The 2010 health care law charged the FDA with requiring restaurants and other establishments that serve food to put calorie counts on menus and in vending machines. The agency issued a proposed rule in 2011, but the final rules have since been delayed as some of those non-restaurant establishments have lobbied hard to be exempt.
While the restaurant industry has signed on to the idea and helped to write the new regulations, supermarkets, convenience stores and other retailers that sell prepared food say they want to no part of it.
