Calories in restaurant and pub food 'should be displayed'

Postby annie » 18 Jul 2015, 07:13

Every restaurant, pub and cinema chain should be displaying the calorie content of their food and drink, council leaders have said.

The Local Government Association (LGA) says some UK outlets already do so, but the industry must do more.

A mandatory scheme in the US has given large restaurant chains until the end of 2016 to put calorie counts on menus.

That will put the costs up with the extra work that would have to go into it, I think it's a daft idea.
