A lot of fast food places, I've discovered, are a bit more transparent about the info than the "fancier" chains. All the chains should be able to reveal the info - I can understand when smaller local Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706509196888322907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-45410733582254712842010-08-11T08:01:10.993-04:002010-08-11T08:01:10.993-04:00AMEN SISTAH!AMEN SISTAH!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-50777073085235327082010-08-10T21:41:49.339-04:002010-08-10T21:41:49.339-04:00I am with Lo, I will sign the petition.

If you don't already have it, our lifesaver for eating out has been The Calorie King's Fat, Calorie, and Carbohydrate Counter. It's a little pocket-sized book with a huge fast food restaurants section in the back.

Most don't. <br /><br />And, btw, WHAT do restaurants do to inject so many carbs into their food.

Public health officials are driving the calorie count issues, but these groups could care less about carbs or any other items. Still, it seems like the ADA could be more involved, right?Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-58047815034949752942010-08-09T11:58:15.282-04:002010-08-09T11:58:15.282-04:00Good post!

Last time I emailed a request for carb counts to one local restaurant that I like they sent me back a letter saying it was too expensive... No sorry for the inconvenience or anything, just a "what your asking for is unreasonable and out fo the question" kind of tone...
