I have been going to Bostons, and I've been getting fat.
Could the salad really be 700 calories? :-(

yes - once you go past the vegetables and start adding cheese, croutons, meat, and above all, salad dressing, you're talking mega calories
soups are often way less fattening than salads, unless one adds crackers or buttered breads or picks a cream type soup |

A salad could easily be 700. Empty calories.

If you're going to a restaurant, chances are you don't give a crap about calories. Or else what's the point of going somewhere and paying for a
salad?
If you're already fat, you should just avoid restaurants to begin with. |

Home cooking - you control what is in your food.
Go to a restaurant rarely and then live it up |

Isn't BP already one of those menus that marks their diet conscious best choices on the menu already? Low fat choices or summat?

You are better off eating chicken with a side dish of rice and/or veggies.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it?
Should restaurants really be responsible for helping people maintain their diets/weight? Should the pharmacy phone to make sure I am taking that vitamin E I purchased last week? |

I'm going to take this opportunity to say that a 'calorie' is a nearly meaningless measure of energy, since caloric testing is done in a 100%
oxygen cube where the product is incinerated and then given a value based on it's energy output... and no one I know (this excludes such notable androids
as Bishop, Data, and Bender) is incinerating food in their stomach.
Additionally, the difference between the number of calories each person needs to consume is too great to be regulated by labels. So sure, get yourself a nutritionist and see if you can actually figure this shit out if you want, but everyone else is wasting their time. |

Do gubbermint officials actually expect customers to be able to do math in their heads and add up the calorie numbers? HIghly doubtful.

Well, if people weren't mostly retarded, this wouldn't be an issue, no.

Don't most restaurants already have nutrion information available on their websites?
If you weren't lazy, you could look it up yourself as the restaurant already makes the information readily available. But clearly since you are fat, you are also lazy. Oh well. |

They probably won't ever do this since most restaurants would go out of business if they listed items like the 1000+ calorie burgers they sell.

We are becoming such a nanny state.
