What's Your Opinion?
Compiled by Bill
O'Neill
Question: A federal
judge has ruled that the city can't force fast food restaurants to list caloric
contents on menus. Do you think they should post nutritional information?
Why?
 | | "They should post that nutritional information. It's valuable. A lot of kids are obese or fat in a way. If the kids don't know what they are eating, then the parents should know. And, in general, people should be aware of what they are eating."

 | | "For me, it doesn't really matter. If you want something to eat, you're going to buy it regardless of what's on the menu - just to satisfy your appetite. But some people do have to be cautious about what they eat."
- Max Zamor, Flatbush

|
 | | "Of course, because some people are on a diet. They are trying to watch their weight. They have to know what they are eating. Some people have a strict calorie count."
- Michael Hart, Canarsie

 | | "If you want nutritional information, you can request it. It should be available, but not directly on the menu. It's too much information. Not everybody wants to know nutritional information."
