I think this would be a great ideal. It applies to companies that have 15 or more franchises, so should not be difficult or expensive to implement. If they company only has one business I think they should come up with an alternative way to display the information.

Yet, as we have all mentioned several times, it is a pity that these people don't know that not all calories are created equally.

I'm not for over regulation, a prime example is the lack of enforcement on Big Pharma by the corrupt FDA process, with almost daily recalls of previously approved drugs that harm and KILL.

However, when over 2/3 rds of all meals consumed in the USA are consumed outside the home, the majority of those meals, more than likely, are purchased outside the home.

Relevant and ACCURATE caloric and content (ingredients) information should be available on ALL FOOD & BEVERAGES, anywhere, at any time, so at least there is some semblance of disclosure to those who wish to make informed choices on their intake.

This is reasonable approach, and should be universally implemented in this country.

If you want to be in the food or beverage business, this must be a universal requirement, no matter how large or how small the operation is, just like santiation standards are required.
