Is it the law in the US that Restaurants must put something green on your plate? ?

Question

People keep telling me that Restaurants must put something green on your plate? Only sit down Restaurants though? Any truth to this?

And if it is the law Why?!

Answer 1

It's just garnish to make the plate look more presentable.  

Answer 2

It's not a law, it wouldn't make sense for it to be one, no restaurant has to put something on your plate.

Answer 3

People are pulling your leg.  There is no validity to this statement.

I worked in a fine dining establishment for over 20 years.

Don't believe everything you hear, dear.

Answer 4

nope, wrong answer. Maybe in China but not here. Land of the free, ask McDonalds if they use green on their double cheese burger when you sit down.
