Soon you might!
With the national obesity level not getting any better, the FDA wants consumers to be more informed of the calorie content of their choices when dining out. The guidelines, somewhat following the requirements of fast food restaurants in NYC, state that any restaurant with more than 20 locations has to disclose the calorie content of everything on their menu (excluding daily specials and seasonal menu items available for less than 60 days.)
The LA Times did a writeup on it today. I am personally a big supporter of this. Though it may not seem apetizing to see 1,000-something calories next to your burger with fries or chicken alfredo, it helps us to realize how unhealthy our diets really are. And maybe it will give restaurants more of a reason to make their menus more health focused. But that's just wishful thinking ;)
