Poll: For or Against?

Question

fast food restaurants providing caloric information on their menus?

Answer 1

totally for: thats a good idea

Answer 2

for that way if someone is watching their weight they can make an informed decision.  also so that people that end up weighing 500# and have numerous health problems can't blame the fast food companies for their weight, because they can see what the nutritional facts are (granted that shouldn't matter, but you know how people are they sue at the drop of a hat).

Answer 3

For, if they want to.

Answer 4

against- i dont wanna know, i just wanna eat!

Answer 5

Yes~  The reason being, people are flat out stupid sometimes. take for example a few years ago when the woman sued Mcdonalds for the burns she got when she poured the hot coffee on her lap, as if she didnt know. Now they have to put a warning label on their cup saying that the coffee is hot (surprise surprise!!!!!)

Because of America's obesity problems now 'a days, it almost seems like a prerequisite to post something like that. As many people said before me, they are going to eat it anyway, but they are merely preventing another stupid lawsuit by an idiot that cant put down the fork, then blames everyone else for it. For this very purpose, they can say "You knew what you were buying, you knew what was in it, we hid nothing from you."

Answer 6

Definitely FOR! Because a lot of people have no idea whatsoever what they're eating.

Answer 7

For. It would make my job finding out how many points is in that stuff so much easier.

Answer 8

no, most already have brochures they will give u with that info if u want it.  that would just put more stuff to read on the menu board to slow down the lines.

Answer 9

Well let's see your boring me! Let people eat what they want! Except if they are snooty little morons who hate fast food because they are anerexic idiots!

Answer 10

What would be the point?

People there eating fast food are willing to take the risk of high calories anyway.

Answer 11

for! think about the people with diabetes! it actually REALLY smart!

Answer 12

yes.. as long as it's accurate.

Answer 13

For

Answer 14

For, it might hurt them, but the customers will be more secured with the food they're eating! This might help the restaurants improve the health to attract more customers!

Answer 15

FOR

they do have to but the don't have to tell u the info  unless u ask

Answer 16

for- it helps people decide what they want depending on how fatty it is (since people don't want to eat the amount of calories in one sitting they should in an entire day)

on the other hand due to this, the restaurants would loose a great deal of money

Answer 17

Yes they must do this. Also they should explain where and how they get their meat and if the animals were given hormones.

Answer 18

For.=)

Answer 19

For :)

Answer 20

against.

where on the menu board would it be?

what size would the letters be?

listing calories alone does not provide the needed information to make an educated decision.

they already provide this info as well as all the other nutritional information on tray liners, in pamphlets and they provide toll free numbers for the info as well as their websites have it.

what more can be expected of any business?

if the public has a concern they need to pay attention and investigate a little. most don't really care they just enjoy talking about it, it seems to make them feel as if they are involved and concerned.

Answer 21

Against.  just eat the food and stop whineing

Answer 22

for, ts nice to kno

Answer 23

If people want it, that is fine.
