NYC Pushes Calorie Count Plan

That burger might be darned tasty, but New York City health officials are reviving their crusade to give you an accompanying calorie count on menus—this time not just for fast-food joints, but restaurants with 15 or more locations. Chains aren't too keen on the plan, and a state restaurant association is set to sue a second time, the AP reports.

Fast-food companies are arguing that customers don't want to see health data cluttering menus while they wolf down a Quarter Pounder. A federal judge struck down the city's first attempt in September but hinted that a revised measure could pass—indeed, similar measures have passed elsewhere since. The city health board has scheduled a hearing soon and a final vote in January. (More New York City stories.)
