Blame it on calories

New Yorkers could have controlled calories in their food intake with the government’s move to enforce strict implementation of display of calorific values in the menus at restaurants. This would largely avert the growth of diabetes and obesity problems in the city. The display would have to be carried out in the menu cards by food chains that have a minimum of 15 outlets across the country to start with. Renowned food chains such as Duncan Donuts and Mc Donalds have fallen under the scanner. The move is expected to protect 30,000 diabetes and 130,000 obesity patients in New York.
