Default Re: NYC Requiring Certain Restaurants to Post Calorie Counts on Menus

[ QUOTE ]
...the trouble is, the requirement only applies to restaurants that already make nutrition info available in stores or online. Can anyone think of a regulation that would provide a stronger incentive for restaurants to not publish nutrition information at all than this one? Read the story here.

If anything supports Henry Hazlitt's theory that people only consider the immediate effects of their actions, silly regulations like this are it. The obvious incentive here is for companies that currently provide nutrition information, companies that are doing right by letting their customers know what is in their food, to stop providing such information at all so that they will not be required to post it on their menus.

im not so against laws like this.

this is a reasonable means of fraud and litigation prevention by forcing contracts to be more explicit.
