Big Gov't suggests serving sizes for restaurants!

Because we allow them to get away with this nonsense, a report requested by the FDA and paid for by taxpayers will make suggestions to restaurants on what to include on menus and what portion sizes should be.

WASHINGTON - In the fight against obesity, restaurants should shrink portions, provide more nutritional information and bundle such calorie-laden food as burgers and pizza with healthier side dishes, according to a federally commissioned report to be made public Friday.

The report, requested and funded by the Food and Drug Administration, lays out ways to help consumers manage their intake of calories from restaurants, cafeterias and ready-to-eat meals bought at grocery stores. It does not address school meals.

'As of this decade, Americans are eating away-from-home foods more frequently and consuming more calories from away-from-home establishments than ever before,' the report says in making the case for increasing the availability of foods and drinks packed with fewer calories but more nutrients.

It's none of Big Government's damn business!
