Soon after calories were posted on fast-food menus, people cut back a little bit on what they ordered — but it didn't last
NEW YORK — Soon after calories were posted on fast-food menus, people cut back a little bit on what they ordered. But it didn't last.
It's the latest effort at sizing up how calorie counts influence what people order. A national law that went into effect last year requires chains with 20 or more locations to post calories. Some places, including New York City and California, imposed similar rules years ago to combat obesity. The idea is to give people information to make better choices.
The findings were based on sales data from 104 fast-food locations over three years. The owner provided the information but did not allow researchers to identify the chains.
