Some states introduced mandatory energy labelling for fast food restaurants in Australia about a year ago and it has quickly become the norm with places that are not subject to the regulation doing it anyway and national chains doing it in the states where it is not a legal requirement. Many places have also started listing ingredients. Noone here seems upset by it, and it means the consumer can make a more informed choice about the product they purchase. Eating out has also become much easier for those with allergies and intolerances - they can see if there's anything in the recipe they need to avoid without relying on the waitstaff getting it right. It seems like a sensible use of government power to me - not regulating what people eat but giving them the knowledge to make an informed choice.
And I have occasionally made a healthier choice after seeing the calory count - but usually only when I had a friend observing me. |

Those of use who keep coming here obviously enjoy the input of others, or we wouldn't keep coming here. It's what I call "Internet friendship". Though most people who I try to explain it to don't understand it, it's real. We are friends here. Magic or not, we are friends here. Of course, we do happen to be intrigued by magic, too. |
