What Foods would you eat in New York City?
In a recent post, Should Restaurants post Nutritional Information about their Food? - Iowa Avenue and a lively discussion group with the same name, most people were in favor of having nutritional advice available.
In the discussion, members suggested several different formats, so I thought everybody would enjoy seeing what some of the restaurant menu boards look like.
Below are twelve actual pictures of the menu boards of various restaurants in New York City, where nutritional information must be made available on the menus.
Some of the following menu panels were created by the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Item 8 is in PDF format, because this restaurant features a written menu instead of menu boards.
So, here’s today’s Thursday Thirteen:
1. Auntie Anne’s
2. Chipotle
3. Cosi
4. Dunkin’ Donuts
5. Haagen Dazs
6. IHOP
7. Jamba Juice
8. Johnny Rockets

9. McDonald’s
10. Starbucks
11. Subway
12. Wendy’s
13. Center for Science in the Public Interest
What do you think? Would you like to have these menu boards in a restaurant near you? Were you surprised by any of the calorie numbers for the menus?
Perhaps, this information would help you choose to eat healthier.
It’s food for thought, because,
After all, it’s about a healthy lifestyle!

Holy cow, some of those numbers are big! Yikes! The health food stores and vegan restaurants I tend to frequent have always listed ingredients, since they’re very aware of people with food sensitivities and alternative diets. But they don’t, at least that I’ve seen, post calorie counts. Yet… I’m sure some of them will surprise me, too.
