Nevada Nanny Alert


Nevada's New Nanny
From the LVRJ: If a Nevada lawmaker has her way, patrons of most chain restaurants soon will be able to find out the number of calories in that hamburger or pizza slice they just ordered with a quick glance at the menu.
New federal rules are being developed that will require retail food establishments with 20 or more locations to post calorie information on their menus and menu boards, including at drive-thru lanes.
But Assemblywoman Lucy Flores, D-Las Vegas, wants Nevada to require the calorie information to be posted sooner rather than later. She also wants the posting requirements to apply to Nevada restaurant chains of 10 locations or more rather than the 20 locations that will be covered in the rules being prepared by the federal Food and Drug Administration.  http://www.lvrj.com/news/bill-calls-for-calorie-counts-at-chain-restaurants-in-nevada-196501481.html
Why is this mental midget just requiring only chain restaurants to give notice?  Why not include buffets and local resturants.
