Fast Food Restaurants In New York Are Getting A Temporary Reprieve From A First-in-the-nation Rule Requiring Them To Put Calorie Information On Their Menus.

(Tuesday, June 19, 2007) - Fast food restaurants in New York are getting a temporary reprieve from a first-in-the-nation rule requiring them to put calorie information on their menus.

The new regulation covering about 2,000 city eateries was on track to take effect on July 1 until it was challenged in court last week by the New York State Restaurant Association.

The restaurants complained that the menu boards that hang above their counters would become a cluttered mess if they have to include a calorie count for every burger, taco or pizza slice. The regulation requires calories to be listed as prominently as the price.
