FAST-FOOD CALORIE LAW GOES INTO EFFECT IN
NEW YORK CITY
May 10, 2008 - Did you know that a smoked turkey sandwich (930 calories) at Chili's has more
calories than a sirloin steak (540 calories)? Or that a large milk shake from Mc Donald's has
over 1,000 calories, about half a day's recommended amount? Or that two jelly-filled
doughnuts at Dunkin' Donuts have fewer calories than a sesame bagel with cream cheese?
New Yorkers are about to find out. Thanks to an order from the Second Circuit issued late
yesterday afternoon (the same day as oral argument on a stay motion), New York City's
landmark calorie law is now in effect. The law requires large fast-food chains to post calorie
information about standardized food items on their menus, so consumers can make healthier
choices about their diets. You can still choose that gut-busting 1,500-calorie meal, of course,
but you won't be able to say you didn't know what you were getting into.
