No, I don't believe that. The majority of food eaten by people is not in a restaurant but at home. Every item of food brought into the home (at least in the US) already has that information on the package. When we do eat at a restaurant, we're usually treating ourselves and wouldn't bother counting calories at that time.

Linda Joy I don't think it will make any significant difference. But then I couldn't have predicted the drop in eating out due to covid, either. I think it is possible that a few cancer deaths may be prevented. But nothing like their survey "forecast". -
notyouraveragedummy That could be but it would be impossible to track the cause of a minor drop in deaths. -
Linda Joy Why would you have to track the cause? Isn't it enough less people die?

No. But at least people are being forewarned; that's a primary goal of a lot of this stuff- be forewarned and then suffer the consequences if you ignore the warning. I'm saying this while I'm drinking a glass of soda, which they're also constantly harping about. I don't drink if often, though.

Ah another angle preventing lawsuits from FA's (fat admirers) I use to guzzle soda when I worked in fast food. I cut back when I had to carry it home. Old arthur and some rotator cuff damage makes water that flows to my home a blessing! -

Is "arthur" "arthritis"? If so, I found glucosmine-chondroitin controls it for me. I don't know which form of it I have because I didn't have a doctor when I started taking it. I had it spreading in my fingers. It's kind of expensive though. -

Yes. Actually they call it degenerative joint disease now. I'll have to ask my dr about that. If I can get them to prescribe it I can get it for free.
