In New York City, fast-food restaurants are required to post the calories in their offerings in large type and in readily visible positions. The likely shock when customers realize just how many calories they are taking in with their oversized burgers and fries or richly sweetened coffees may urge overweight customers toward a healthier diet. The calorie posting requirement _____ to all restaurants that have standardized menus and already list the calorie content of their menu items publicly. These restaurants, including almost all of the well-known fast-food chains, will soon be required to post the caloric content of each item on menus and on menu boards.
