A drive on America’s highways is a drive through burgers and fries, and it’s easy to get fatter as you go farther. McDonald’s takes an impending marketing approach on this billboard I passed by during a recent road trip to Florida. Sooner or later… you’re gonna eat with us. We’re here, we’re there, we’re after there… you can’t get away, so why don’t you get it over with and stuff your face now.
At least NYC is taking a step in the right direction. The City Board of Health approved the regulation requiring restaurants with 15 or more outlets to display calorie amounts on their menus (effective March 31st). Some say this smacks of nanny-state policy. I say this smacks of empowering information that can do no wrong, unless knowing more ain’t right… Rah!
