Too often, we underestimate the calories we're consuming, particularly when dining out. Even experienced dieticians have difficulty correctly guessing the caloric content of restaurant foods.
Studies have shown that customers tend to order up to 100 fewer calories per meal when calories are posted in restaurants. Kentucky's House Bill 246 is common-sense legislation that would give consumers the calorie information they need at the point of purchase to make healthier choices when dining out.
Although representatives from the American Heart Association testified on behalf of the bill just last week, legislators report that they’re hearing more from people who oppose the bill than those who are in favor. This is why Kentucky’s legislators need to hear from you!
With Americans now spending nearly half of their food budget dining out, HB 246 would give consumers the calorie information they need to make informed choices. Please send your message of support for HB 246 today!
