New York City’s law mandating calorie content be prominently displayed, same size as the price, with chain restaurant foodstuffs. Folks dropping in at Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks for a pastry or something with coffee are finding out just how calorie-bloated many of the offerings are.

A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics.

Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
