The passage points out that the proponents of menu labelling ----.
On July 1, 2009, the US state of California began
enforcing a new menu-labelling law that requires chain
restaurants to post on their menus the calories contained
in their food items. Three other states - Oregon, Maine,
and Massachusetts - have already passed similar
regulations, as have 11 city and county governments. The
trend has gathered strength quickly, mostly because of
concern about the nation's expanding waistlines. The next
step is to deploy the practice nationally, and the
Congress is about to debate such a law. Pressure for this
type of move is coming from the obese, who represent
more than a third of American adults, and their
defenders. Overweight people often struggle to estimate
the number of calories they consume when eating out
and make mistakes when calculating how much food they
should order. Proponents of menu labelling hope that
knowing what is in their food may direct people to
healthier items. In Los Angeles, for example, officials
optimistically predict that menu labelling could prevent
nearly 40% of the annual weight gain there. However, the
effect of menu labelling on dietary choices remains
unclear, and the regulations are too new to produce much
evidence. Furthermore, some critics of the trend believe
the public-health benefits of the new legislation are
irrelevant. For them, the new regulations are welcome as
part of a consumer's wide-ranging right to know.
