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.
Restaurants are dragging their feet, but $2K fines are about to kick in. And, it covers sit-downs, not just Starbucks or fast-food places.
That said, the Apple is not the only large city (yes, pun intended) considering such ideas.
Meanwhile, here’s your latest inflationary sticker shock
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. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
