According to the Los Angeles Times article, "Calorie counts will be posted alongside images of juicy burgers on McDonald's menu boards nationwide starting next week, much as they have been in California for more than a year." The move will allow customers to make an informed decision on which meal to choose based on the number of calories. McDonald's is leading the way in making this improvement of revealing the number of calories for each food.Other fast food restaurants will soon follow the trend. With the new dimension of information, customers who choose to eat healthily will know which sandwich to eat based on the low calories being shown in the menu. "Menu labeling, which informs patrons that a Big Mac, say, has 550 calories, is already mandated in some cities and states. California began requiring restaurants with 20 or more locations to put calorie counts on menus last year." I think it is a step in the right direction of letting people make better choices.
