I just got done watching 60 minutes and it was about the push to make fast food chains post caloric information. This is being pushed due to the obesedy epidemic--in an early discusion i made a comment that i feel almost all excessively overweight people suffer from binge eating--therefore, would this really help the obesedy epideic...do you think this would deter binge eaters?

I think the info. is helpful, and when I am in ahealthy place, I can see the nutritional value, or lack thereof, and make better choices, i.e. like salads at "fast food" places...BUT when I am an unhealthy place, I could care less, I am only interested in getting numb, it's only after I feel regretful and ashamed. Thank God, today I am doing pretty OK.

A lot of them post anyway. Burger King and Taco Bell even have food choice calculaters. That way ahead of time you can try out different combinations. I don't think you have to "make" these fast food places post their calories. If you only go to places that do this, others will follow.

I think it is a really good idea for fast food places to list the nutritional value of the food they serve. I know that since I found out about the number of calories in McDonalds stuff, I have watched what I have been eating from there. I am much more aware of what I eat from there. I am a person that always likes to see how many calories my food has.
