«Because of the inclusion of mandatory calorie labeling in the recent health reform bill, it is critical to explore the most effective strategies for
presenting caloric information to consumers on fast food restaurant menu boards,» suggest the study's authors.
«Although the policy is encouraged in the U.S. and U.K. for large chain restaurants to
present caloric content for menu items, this study reminds us that there isn't any legislature for cafeterias at universities, schools or workplaces to display this type of
information,» says Sara Bleich, PhD, Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, speaking on behalf of TOS.
