NYC Restaurants to Post Calorie Info Over 1A Objection

New York City restaurants will soon have to disclose nutritional information to customers, the New York Sun reports.  On Wednesday, Judge Richard Howell dismissed a challenge brought by restaurateurs who claimed that the new regulation violated the First Amendment by forcing them to speak.  The regulation applies to chain restaurants with more than 15 locations nationwide and goes into effect on Tuesday.  City officials have said they will wait until June 4 to begin enforcing the law.  The Second Circuit Civil Rights Blog has more. 

If you can't wait until Tuesday to see how your favorite fast food measures up, the Washington Post offers this on-line guide.   Read it and weep.
