Monday 26 February, the Center for Science in the public interest (CSPI) held a conference press to highlight several chain restaurants that offer single-course menu items each loaded with 2,000 calories or more. In the March edition of the Healthletter nutrition action, the article entitled X-treme eating: more lenient menus entice Diners to Pig Out? detailed content of calories and fat of these dishes. Many contained on one day more than two days of fat and calorie requirement. Director Executive of CSPI Michael Jacobson is pushing for the city, State and federal laws that require information from nutrition on chain restaurant menus.
In response to this report, Philadelphia City Councilman Blondell Reynolds Brown (pictured left) proposed a chain that require measuring restaurants operating within the city to provide information of nutrition for its menu items. Required information includes calorie, fat, carbohydrate carbon and sodium."The proposal has been praised by CSPI, as well as by Sara Solomon Temple University for research on obesity and Education Center.""Knowledge, if not power, unless progress is," ? said Solomon, as regards the fight against the epidemic of obesity.
Said Councilman Brown, "consumers want to know". And by all indications, it is absolutely right. Customers who were interviewed on the street by the affiliate WPVI Philly ABC News seemed to support its new proposal unconditionally.As came out to restaurants in the chain, they were asked if you know the calorie dishes would affect how they order. are you A young woman in Ridley Park, said, "if I knew what was in the food items and the intake of calories, would change my mind"? "Absolutely."
A reporter WPVI placed calls to members of the Philadelphia restaurant industry.Not received any response.(I imagine that the restorers are all occupied in contact with the NRA: no, not people of the International Federation of restaurants - to know what should be its colectiva.También response pistol I suppose that his answer will have much more to do with welfare benefits of its restaurants to health and well-being of its customers.)
Do you think? do you support a labeled menu proposal if your city representative suggested that?
