About a month ago I took a trip into New York to watch the Yankees, and have a good time with some friends. Usually good times at baseball games involve hot dogs, french fries, peanuts, and beer. This nights trip to the game still involved a couple of those items, but not without quite a bit of guilt to go with it. Having spent the last 5 years in California I was unaware of the law that New York had put into place requiring restaurants and food vendors to list the calories on their menu. My first thought was that I really didn’t want to see this information at a baseball game where the whole point was to eat and drink too much while watching the Yankees win. I must admit though that waiting in line and letting the thought sink in of eating over 1500 calories of food in one sitting seriously affected my choice. This my sound humorous, but instead of chicken fingers, fries, and a beer I limited myself to just the chicken and beer. While that was still pretty close to half of my daily calories I did manage to avoid another 800-1000 in just the fries alone.
