Or face a $2,000. That’s the new rule that went into effect yesterday in NYC. Here’s the expectation for the new rule:

Officials say the rule could prevent at least 150,000 New Yorkers from becoming obese and prevent at least 30,000 from developing diabetes over the next five years.
The health code provision, which affects businesses with at least 15 establishments nationwide, was delayed when the New York State Restaurant Association fought back in court.

I think it’s unrealistic to expect that many people to just stop going to fast food restaurants just because they find out how many calories their burger and fries actually contain. I think must of us already have an idea and go there anyway.
This follows another rule that banned the use of trans fats. I think that the city council is trying to be the people’s dietitian 🙂 Maybe they should leave that to their doctors.
