The American Heart Association is quoted in a Chicago Tribune article in today's Business Section. Here's the link if you'd like to check it out: http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/chi-mon-menu-boards-0518-may18,0,384155.story
At issue is the requirement to post nutrition information, such as calories and/or grams of fat, on the menu boards or in menus of chain restaurants. To us it seems like a logical idea. The restaurants already provide you with the price listed next to the item. Why not also provide customers with the potential health cost of purchasing and consuming the product?
What do you think?

I think this should be voluntary on the part of restaurants. Many have this information available if you just ask for it. I really feel like our legislators have more important things do to. Especially in Illinois.
Per Bob's comment above, this is a federal issue and Illinois legislators would not have to deal with it....
