There really is nothing like the joy of walking into Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks in the morning and realizing that the muffin you indulge in everyday contains almost half of the allotted calories you should consume in one day. It’s only second to the thought that by 9:30 am, you therefore would have already consumed 600 calories. Delicious!! This can pose some tough decisions. Muffin or dinner? Muffin and the always sexy muffin top. Hot! Obviously the restaurant industry wanted to keep these eye-opening, and waist-line expanding numbers either hidden or at least posted microscopically. But alas, why shouldn’t we all have to conform to the much adored and heralded rules of Pharma advertising...“New Yorkers have been in the throes of sticker shock since this spring when the Big Apple became the first city in the country to implement a law forcing chain restaurants to post the calorie count of each food in the same size and font as the price.”
Saw this in an article and smiled. Apparently the calorie count is now considered Fair Balance!! What’s next, Rachael Ray voiceovers... “Before starting a donut regimen, be sure to talk to your doctor about your increasing artery plaque...”
