Yes or No: a bill to put nutrition info on menus?
0 Comments | Posted by admin in General nutrition
A bill to put nutrition info on menus? It’s kind of a touchy subject. If you’re out at a restaurant, you’re usually spoiling yourself. And if you aren’t celebrating something, either way it’s a night off from cooking at home. As much fun as that can be, we can all appreciate it being done for us and simply paying for it.
But consider this: do you want to be reminded that your clam linguine has enough calories in to support a family of five? No way! On the other hand… none of us needs that many calories in one sitting. Maybe then you opt for something less – some nachos, perhaps? If you’re watching your weight, it’s nice to know what you’ll have to work off later!
We found the article on the CBC, and it’s given us some [pardon the pun] food for thought. Check out this excerpt:
“…Bill Jeffrey from the Centre for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI, a non-profit advocacy organization) spoke about the importance of posting nutritional information directly on restaurant menus. He was there to support the private members Bill 156 — an Act to amend various acts regarding nutritional information and trans fat content of food and drinks that are provided in restaurants and fast food chains”.
Do you want to be reminded about fat content if you decide to splurge a little? More importantly: what is life without cheesecake?! All jokes aside, the reality is that 64% of adults in Ontario are obese. Is it time to help Canada get fit?
