A few years ago, city regulations were upheld requiring some chain restaurants to post calories on menus. This means that consumers can educate themselves at the decision making point. A few years ago, what was consumer's awareness level of, let's say, their favorite “pick-me-up snack,” which was a banana bread slice from Starbucks? Did they already know it was a heaping 390 calories? Or did that small signage under the glass window provide them with this awareness? Perhaps when information like this is disclosed, consumers will be empowered to make healthier choices and select lower calorie meals, especially within those populations that have limited access to healthier options and more access to the fast food chain restaurants. And if you want to take the leap, I’d say this will lead to lower incidence of obesity. Knowledge is power, so empower yourself and make smart healthier choices.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411232031786266333noreply@blogger.com
