Pass me the walnuts

Our bodybuilding governator signed a bill today making California the first U.S. state to require fast-food restaurant chains to list calories on their menus and indoor menu boards.

Starting July 1 next year, chains with more than 20 locations must offer brochures with calorie and nutritional information. By January 1, 2011, they must list calorie information on menus and indoor menu boards. - Reuters


I've been going back and forth on the bill, but ultimately think that this isn't too bad of an idea. Although California is already obsessed with being health-conscious compared to the rest of the U.S., I personally would like to know what I am feeding my body. Kind of like the book titled, "Eat This Not That!"

Is the new California bill really going to make a difference in obesity? Only time will tell.

Someone pass me the walnuts so that I can fake my stomach into thinking that it's full.
