  [3]Big fast food chains in New York city have started to obey a first of its kind rule, requiring them to post calorie counts right on the menu. Cathy Nurses is with the New York City Department of Health.

  “We wanted to give people an opportunity to actually see the calories before they purchase the food and make a decision, and an informed decision, that if they want to make a healthier choice, if they want to eat fewer calories, they can. And we expect this will have a huge impact on obesity. And of course, if it has an impact on obesity, it will have an impact on diabetes, and heart disease, and high blood pressure.”

  The new rules were introduced as part of anti-obesity campaign that also includes a recent city-wide ban on artificial transfats in restaurant food. The menu rule only applies to restaurants that serve standardized portion sizes and have 15 or more locations nationwide. Starting last Saturday, [4]chains big enough to fall under the rule will face penalties about 2,000 dollars for not showing calorie information in a prominent spot on their menus, preferably next to the price.
